We can and must tackle climate change and the economic downturn together.

Ever increasing consumption has led us dangerously close to the planet’s environmental limits. Only by investing in green jobs and a thriving low carbon economy will a sustainable way of life be secured for generations to come. The lives and livelihoods of millions of poor and vulnerable people across all countries are at stake.

The Government plans to spend hundreds of billions of pounds to tackle the economic crisis. This is a golden opportunity to invest in transforming the UK into a low carbon economy and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs – a ‘Green New Deal’.*

The UK owes it to those most at risk yet least responsible for both the economic crisis and the threat of climate chaos to help create a Green New Deal to tackle both.

The Stop Climate Coalition calls on the Government to tackle climate change and the economic downturn together by implementing a Green New Deal to help build a thriving low carbon economy and generate thousands of new jobs..

You can take action and help make this happen by saying yes to clean green energy.
