Why we need the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill

The Climate and Ecological Emergency bill is a private members' bill that has the potential to become the most significant move forward since the 2008 Climate Change Act.

Its aim is to make climate targets into law so that the government is bound to them which is not the case currently and targets are not being met.

The bill has been drafted by leading climate scientists and experts and is gathering support from a wide range of campaign groups, businesses, charities, individuals and 99 MPs from every major party. But because it is a private member's bill, it will need even more pressure and support to be made law.

This is not impossible and has been done before but it needs our support.
