Closed Declare the third Friday in March ‘National Climate Day’

Closed on

The latest IPCC report on climate change gives us until 2030 to ensure that global warming does not overshoot a 1.5°C increase to catastrophic consequences.

Declare an annual day of reflection on how we as a nation are tackling carbon targets, and of celebration where we have achieved them.

In the spirit of the global youth climate strikes of 15 March 2019, we must instigate a culture of engagement in order to recognise the urgency of the situation and ensure we preserve the planet for future generations.

Our proposed National Climate Day would involve:
•Corporations setting and reviewing their carbon reduction targets
•Schools focusing a day of the year on climate change
•Government raising awareness of climate change and informing the public of our progress in tackling emissions
