Britain is about to pass the world's first law requiring a national government to make specified CO2 cuts (see below). This will help campaigners abroad to pressure their governments to take similar measures, and could thus go a long way to help bring about an effective international agreement. Please contact your MP before Tuesday and tell them how important it is that international aviation and shipping should be included in the calculation of Britain's emissions. Otherwise the new law will have a much weaker international influence. Nigel Griffiths MP has tabled 2 amendments on this point which we hope MPs will support.

 | Please phone your MP We now know that MPs will vote on the Climate Change Bill on Tuesday 28 October. That's this coming Tuesday! The good news is that the Government has suggested an amendment that will raise the overall emissions reduction target from 60% to 80%. But it still opposes the inclusion of international aviation and shipping emissions. Please call your MP and ask them to vote for a stronger Bill. See the letter below for guidance. You can also refer to the action guide we sent earlier this month. Please phone your MP PS - Do you have problems opening PDFs? If so, please let us know so we can either email you a different version, or post you a copy. |
