Petition Take immediate action to reduce emissions by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030.
The government must take immediate measures to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C, as advised by the UN's recent climate report. To achieve this, emissions need to be cut drastically in the next 12 years. Meanwhile, the government has been backing out of policies which achieve these targets.
