We have three demands in the UK:
Tell the truth
Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.
Act Now
Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
Beyond Politics
Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly* on climate and ecological justice.
*See below for links to an explanation of Citizens Assemblies
*If you are not familiar with Citizen's Assemblies and how they operate: In 2019 six UK House of Commons select committees (not the Government) set up a Citizens' Assembly to find out what members of the Public would recommend the Government to do in order to get to its "Net Zero Green House Gas emissions by 2050" target. A description of the process by which the 108 assembly members took part and the report that resulted is at the House of Commons UK Climate Assembly web site. An independent documentry, the People v Climate Change, followed some of the participants throughout the process and is available on BBC iPLAYER andYoutube.
