DEMAND THE GOVERNMENT BACK CLIMATE PLEDGES WITH LEGISLATION

Two years ago, on 1 May 2019, the UK Parliament declared a Climate and Environment Emergency.

Since then, politicians have drawn up new targets, including at least a 68% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, made promises to protect 30% of our land by 2030 and signed pledges including the Leaders’ Pledge for Nature. 

Yet despite these pledges and promises, we remain way off track.

To change this, we need more than just promises. We need new, ambitious climate and nature law – we need the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill.

Support our demand that the UK Government back up their climate and nature pledges with up-to-date, ambitious legislation. 

We cannot afford to wait another two years. Please sign the petition.

The Climate & Ecological Emergency Bill

Extinction Rebellion (XR UK) are asking people to take action on 26th March to mark the CEE (Climate & Ecological Emergency) Bill. 

The Bill's second reading in Parliament was due on 26th March but has been cancelled due to Covid. The government continues to stifle opportunities for Parliament to discuss real solutions to the climate & nature crisis.

XR UK's plan is to mark the (non-)occasion with UK-wide banner drops on the 26th March. And a Twitter storm.

Briefing document here: CEC Bill

There’s still time (they say) to make a banner and get organised. 

XR UK ask people to upload their banner drop location (here) and think about what message they want to tweet their MP.
