Keep a named department for climate change
Rejected

What the petition asks
The scrapping of the Department for Energy and Climate Change is deeply worrying, especially at such a critical time for the climate and the UK's climate change action. It signifies that climate change is dangerously low on the agenda of Theresa May's government; we strongly urge her to reconsider.
