What the petition asks
Given the existential global climate emergency and the strength of public feeling evidenced by Friday's climate strike, parliament should be recalled to enable immediate action on this specific issue. Government must now focus on the declared emergency and the Climate and Ecological Emergency bill.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
Parliament is now sitting, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
