Pledges

The manifesto list

The environment, climate and energy pledges in the programme of every party that contested each general election, to the same scope. Each is a summary in our own words, with the number and page in the programme.

Most of these pledges have not been checked, so they carry no label. A pledge that has been checked links to its claim page. The list is there so that a promise can be followed from one election to the next; the links found so far, and any outliers, are on the Pledges page. Summaries are ours: read the programme itself for the exact wording. Scope and sources are in manifesto_coverage.csv.
