Seek to secure international ban on fracking at COP26

Closed 1,524 signatures

What the petition asks

UK government announced a moratorium on fracking at start of the 2019 election campaign but left the door open to new applications to frack (unconventionally drill) in the future. We're calling on the Government to seek to agree an international, legally enforceable BAN on fracking as part of COP26.
Residents who have campaigned to have fracking prevented in their communities, have no sense of safety and security whilst fracking is under a moratorium; we call for a legal ban on unconventional energy extraction that can put lives, health, the environment and climate at risk.
