Ask your MP to strengthen the Climate Change Bill

The Big Ask

The Climate Change Bill is being debated by MPs in Parliament right now - and we need your help.

The Second Reading of the Bill took place on 9th June. It will now go before a small committee of MPs who will decide how to amend it.

Only those on the Committee can make changes but all MPs can still show their support at this stage. 

Key changes

Friends of the Earth believes a law to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is ground breaking but needs strengthening. Your MP can show their support for two important changes that call for:

  • Bigger cuts
    Raise the target from 60% to 80% in line with the latest science.
  • International aviation and shipping emissions to be included
    Currently excluded from the Bill making it unfair and less effective.

Take action

Please ask your MP to back these key amendments to the Climate Change Bill. The Government may adopt them if enough MPs show their support.


Sorry this action has now expired.

Please visit Press for change for other actions you can do.
