Prioritise Climate Change and Emissions Policies as a matter of urgency

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As the country suffers a heatwave that sees the hottest days on record our government remains silent. We believe that there is no longer time to deny and deflect and we demand the not only the prioritisation of climate and emissions actions, but also transparency of the above to the British people.
