If you enjoyed putting your candidates on the spot by asking the climate question in the run up to the election, then you’ll be excited to hear about our next event to put the UK’s new Government on the spot.

The Stop Climate Chaos Coalition is organising a climate lobby of your new MPs:

In November there will be a constituency-based lobby, where we'll reach as many MPs as possible to tell them that we want strong action on climate change.

We'll follow up the local lobby in spring with a Westminster lobby, to make sure our MPs are delivering on climate policies.

More details here.

More about what's next

Ask the Climate Question is the next step for the movement to stop climate chaos. The 2010 General Election, on 6th May, is an opportunity for us to let future MPs know just how much demand there is for them to take effective action on climate change.

Stop Climate Chaos is working with WWF-UK, RSPB, Christian Aid, Oxfam, Tearfund, Greenpeace, CAFOD, Green Alliance and others to enable people around the country to Ask The Climate Question and put climate change firmly on the election agenda.

By supporting The Wave you sent a strong message to Gordon Brown and other world leaders that we need ambitious carbon emissions reductions by 2020 (based on 1990 levels) from industrialised countries. If all the industrialised nations only make a 30% reduction, we'll be gambling on a 50:50 chance at best of keeping global warming below the 2 degrees C danger level. The EU are currently proposing only a 20% reduction.

Countries are working out their targets now, and will announce them by the end of January, so please take action so they commit to the scale of reductions needed. Gordon needs to sign the UK up to 42% and get the rest of the EU to agree to move to 40% cuts.

Take action now!
