The Climate Party is a minor green conservative political party in the United Kingdom. It has been compared[by whom?] to the teal independent movement in Australia.[2]
The party was founded in 2022 by Ed Gemmell, a councillor for Hazlemere in Buckinghamshire.[3][4] Gemmell describes the party as a "business-friendly and climate-serious alternative" to the Conservative Party.[4][5][6]
The party stood thirteen candidates in the 2024 general election, targeting Conservative-held marginal seats and MPs who 'obstruct climate action'.[4]
