The cross-party CE Bill would require the UK Government to
develop and achieve a new environmental strategy. As the crises in
climate and nature are deeply intertwined the Bill requires a new
plan to:
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the 1.5°C
required under the UK’s Paris Agreement obligations;
• set nature measurably on the path to recovery by 2030;
• prioritise nature in decision-making;
• end fossil fuel production and imports as rapidly as
possible; and
• provide for re-training for those currently working in
fossil fuel industries.
Originally introduced to Parliament by Caroline Lucas, it came
before the House of Commons in May 2023 as a cross-party Bill.
Cambridge City Council needs to join other councils, along with 881
organisations, politicians, and scientists from all over the UK and
across 12 political parties, as well as some 42,000 members of the
public, in giving it their backing.
