Closed We call on Government to support the Climate and Nature Bill

Closed on

We believe the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill is the only science-led legislation comprehensive enough to tackle the current climate and environmental emergencies at the scale needed. We want Government to fully support this Bill and give Parliament time and opportunity to pass it.

The climate and nature crises threaten every aspect of our futures, which depend on urgent action to limit global heating, restore biodiversity and ecosystems, and ensure a liveable planet. We think existing laws fall short of the urgent, unified action we need to deliver commitments under the Paris agreement and Global Biodiversity Framework. We believe the CAN Bill could ensure fair, science-led targets, nature protection, real accountability, and above all, hope.

    Progress in tackling climate change: debate in Parliament

    On 19 March, MPs held a debate entitled 'Progress in tackling climate change'.

    This was a Backbench Business debate led by Luke Murphy MP. Minister for Climate Katie White MP responded on behalf of the Government.

    Explainer

    Backbench Business debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not generally involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
