Do we finally have a chance at a citizen's assembly on climate and nature?

John, do you have 5 minutes to send an email and challenge government inaction?

XRUK is supporting Zero Hour's campaign to get at least 102 MPs to attend and vote in favour of the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill at its second reading in January 2025.

The legislation would require the UK to achieve stricter climate and nature targets, and to establish a citizens’ assembly to guide the implementation of these targets.

The CAN Bill is a plan for a new UK law to address the full extent of the climate and nature crisis in line with the most up-to-date science.  Providing a comprehensive and joined-up approach to the emergency.

It began life as the Climate and Ecological Emergency bill in 2020 when many XR local groups held actions to help promote it to their MP. It’s taken this long to progress, but the ‘2nd reading’ is a vital step to give it the best chance to become law.

If you want to dig a little deeper you can read more on the Rebel Toolkit about why XR is supporting this campaign and get step by step instructions for emailing your MP and also for taking part in phoning or social media actions too.

Love and Rage,
XRUK

PS The second reading is on a Friday when most MPs go home, so it’s critical we get this in their diaries - help now by emailing your MP.
