Zero Carbon by 2030. We need to reach this goal and we can reach this goal.

Oh Gosh! Oh Help! Oh no!   The Climate Emergency: what the science is telling us.

Yes, we can!   Zero Carbon Britain, rapid decarbonisation of the economy, Green Energy Revolution.

Yes we must!   Climate Justice, avoiding false solutions, stopping the expansion of the high-emissions aviation industry, reducing speeds and emissions of private transport, stopping  the UK’s contribution to deforestation, ending agrofuel use…

Win-Win  One million Climate jobs! A Green New Deal.

National Climate March 2010, Saturday 4th December

The year’s biggest climate change demonstration takes place on Saturday 4th December, as part of a Global Day of Action with demonstrations around the world (see www.globalclimatecampaign.org). Put the date in your diary now and keep an eye on your inbox for more information nearer the time.

Mass Lobby of MPs

 The Stop Climate Chaos Coalition is organising a mass lobby of MPs on climate change on 5th and 6th November. Everyone is welcome to join, and they are looking for people to sign up as coordinators in every constituency www.stopclimatechaos.org/the-big-connection

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’ll be working with supporters to lobby every one of the 650 MPs, in the first climate lobby of the new Government. And together we’ll tell our new MPs that we expect them to deliver strong UK climate policies, and they need to push for significant progress towards a fair, ambitious and binding global climate deal at the UNFCCC talks in Cancun, Mexico in November 2010.

Keep an eye out for more details soon, but for now save 20th October 2010 as the date you’ll come to Westminster to tell your new MPs that you want them to Stop Climate Chaos.
