Hi there,

In just two weeks, prime minister Boris Johnson will announce plans on how to rebuild our economy. These plans will affect our lives for years to come, and could be a turning point in our fight against the climate emergency.

We urgently need to get our message to the UK government and make sure that our economic recovery is good for people, and for the environment.

We know that lockdown has already resulted in 600,000 job losses, and that there will be more to come [1]. It's on the government to support people through this, and it doesn't have to be at the expense of the planet.

Instead of a plan that takes us back to business as usual, we want to see money put into things that will protect the natural environment, like renewable energy, clean transport and warm homes [2].

Investment in these industries will create new jobs - insulation fitters, solar panel installers, electric vehicle technicians and tree planters to name just a few - that will employ hundreds of thousands of people [3].

If the government spends money in the right way, we'll have an economic recovery that protects jobs, our health and the climate. But we need to put as much pressure as we can on the government to make sure they choose the right path.

Can you add your name to the petition calling on the UK government to create hundreds of thousands of green jobs?

So far, over 71,000 people have signed the petition to the UK government calling on them to create hundreds of thousands of green jobs so that we can rebuild the economy and tackle the climate emergency. With such a big announcement coming up so soon, can you add your name too?

The more people who sign, the more pressure the government will feel to choose a recovery that prioritises both people and planet. We need to let them know that we won't accept a return to business as usual.
