On the 8th of June, the UK will head to the polls for the third time in as many years. In an election dominated by Brexit, Carbon Brief will be tracking the climate change and energy content of parties’ manifestos, as they are launched.

First out of the blocks was the Green Party Manifesto, with a dedicated seven-page environment manifesto published on the 11th of May. The Labour Party Manifesto saw a draft of its plans leaked on the same day. Its official manifesto launch came on the 16th of May, as did Plaid Cymru’s “Plaid Cymru’s Action Plan“.

The Liberal Democrat Manifesto was published on the 17th of May, with the Conservatives Manifesto following on the 18th of May.
