Hi John,
Good news. Channel 4 are holding the world’s first TV climate & nature election debate this Thursday (28th November) at 7pm.
Just three weeks ago we launched a petition - signed by over 200,000 people - calling for party leaders to hold a debate on the climate and nature emergencies, now this Thursday will see party leaders present their climate plans to the British public.
It’s important that as many people as possible tune in and get to scrutinise the parties’ climate action plans before they vote on 12th December.
To help get as many of your friends as possible to watch the debate will you share on Facebook?
The push for the debate was led by student climate strikers and joined by over 90 organisations from a cross section of society, from trade unions to pensioners. [1] A majority of the British public now say climate change will affect how they vote, so this is a vital opportunity for leaders to present real plans to bring about the zero-carbon future that we urgently need.
The UN has told us we have a decade - or two election cycles - to cut global emissions in half. This debate allows us to put climate at the centre of this election.
Although Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the SNP and the Greens are confirmed, the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson still isn’t on board. The more people are talking about the debate, the more likely Johnson is to join in.
Please can you share with as many people as possible.
Thanks for your support!
James North,
