Closed petition Ban trade deals with countries that deny climate change or not meeting targets.

Closed on 11 September 2020

To make it illegal to engage in the formation of international trade agreements with countries that either (a) deny the process and threat of climate change (b) refuse to ratify internationally agreed climate goals (e.g. Paris Agreement or Kyoto Protocol) or (c) are not working to meet those goals.

Climate change is an existential threat to our world and to business as normal. Pursuing business as normal with countries that are not engaging positively with the impact of climate change will severely impact the well being of everyone and the GDP of all countries. It is irresponsible to reward and encourage countries that deny climate change or are not engaging with pollution reduction with trade deals. As the UK wants to be a global leader on climate change, these deals should not be made.
