Rejected petition: Bring forward the UK's Net Zero deadline and enforce stricter carbon budgets.
Rejected on
Bring forward the UK's legal Net Zero deadline to an earlier date. Enforce stricter yearly carbon budgets across all industries, scale up local green energy projects, and stop fossil fuel investments to cut emissions faster
Global greenhouse emissions are still hitting record highs. The current pace of climate action is not fast enough to prevent severe warming. Relying on distant deadlines allows politicians to delay necessary changes today.We need the Government to act with urgency. Speeding up our Net Zero targets will accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, expand renewable energy, and force immediate drops in national emissions. Sign to demand faster action.
