Recall parliament to address the climate emergency.

Rejected 17 signatures

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

Parliament is now sitting, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
