Tackling climate change

The traditional Westminster parties are failing to act as guardians of our planet.

They are putting our homes at risk of flooding and watching as native species are driven to extinction by temperature rises. Meanwhile they back the big corporations who are doing the most damage, allowing them to frack our countryside and pollute our air and waterways with their toxic waste.

We will:

• Take serious action on climate change by working with other countries to ensure global temperatures do not rise beyond 2 degrees.
• Phase out fossil-fuel based energy generation and nuclear power.
• Invest in a public programme of renewable generation, flood defences and building insulation.
