The party is mainly concerned with environmental issues and sustainability. Better Poland argues that the Polish environment is in tragic shape and advocates extensive measures to alleviate this. The party believes that Poland needs to stop coal exploitation and move beyond other unsustainable energy sources such as natural gas in favour of renewable energy. The party also argues that because of declining availability of energy sources and eroding environment, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of energy and other resources, even if by a small amount.
