Dear John,
On Tuesday Boris Johnson and the government brought out their strategy to hit net zero emissions by 2050. [1] Sadly, it's not good enough. They aren’t committing nearly enough government investment to fund the green transition to protect our planet — they’re foolishly hoping private investors will do the heavy lifting. But together we’re going to try to change that.
John, when thousands of us speak out at once we can win big changes. [2] Together we need to demand the government step up and do the smart thing — properly fund the green transition now. It starts with a petition. Please will you add your name in 20 seconds now? |

In 9 days Boris Johnson’s hosting pivotal UN climate talks in Glasgow, and right now he hasn’t got his own house in order. He’s still letting UK banks pour loads of money into dodgy fossil fuel projects, and not giving green jobs the boost of public money they need. And this new net zero strategy doesn’t change that.
With the world’s eyes on him, Boris Johnson is going to be looking for positive headlines. But unless he gets serious about reshaping our global economy to work for the wellbeing of people and planet, there’s no way he can claim to be leading the way on climate. Together we need to shine a light on what he really needs to do: step up and invest. |
