Closed petition Call for an international economic conference on climate and covid crisis

Closed on 10 May 2021

Government to request that the UN convenes a conference of the major economies, and as many others as they can, that confronts the challenges presented by Covid and the Climate crisis, and creates a shared response, and spreads the duties and consequences of these more fairly around the world

The Covid and climate change crisis both arise from the economic activity of humankind. The effect of Covid is that there are no economies that are safe enough to underwrite a global recovery, and there has been no recent experience of bringing about a global economic recovery on such a scale. The economic problems will fall harder on smaller economies, at a great risk of social disruption and of warfare. Provincial political responses do not deal with this, and we need a global approach.
