Bring forward the banning of petrol and diesel vehicles to 2030

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Last week, the Intercontinental Panel on Climate Change issued a report warning of the highly damaging effects which will occur by 2040 if significant action is not taken. Given this, the government's planned banning of petrol and diesel vehicles in 2040 is clearly inadequate.
