Report by Green Councillor Paul Brown.
The Private Members Bill by Green Party MP Caroline Lucas calls for, far-reaching Government action to tackle the climate and ecological emergency.
The Bill calls for:
* A serious plan to deal with the UK’s fair share of emissions and to halt critical rises in global temperatures.
* Our entire carbon footprint to be taken into account – in the UK and overseas.
* The active conservation and restoration of nature here and overseas, recognising the damage we cause through the goods we import.
* Those in power not to depend on future technologies to save the day; technologies that are used as an excuse for us to carry on polluting.
* Ordinary people to have a real say on the right way forward in a Citizens’ Assembly that has bite.
