We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

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