Rejected petition Grant climate scientists extra funding to mitigate the effects of climate change

The fact that Her Majesty's Government is not allocating emergency funding to a scientific solution to the climate emergency is a national disgrace. For a country with a proud scientific history, we are not honouring our legacy through this apathetic attitude to our futures. We need to act now.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

The Government has recently made funding available for British scientists and innovators, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You can find out more about the Government's recent announcement here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
