We ask Andy Carter as our MP to stand with us and support the passage of the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill through Parliament.

Lymm Parish Council backs this bill, and stands with our parishioners to ask that the bill is supported as it progresses through Parliament.

Why is this important?

This is a Private Members’ Bill, and taking it through parliament will be a hard-fought process but it has been done before with major climate legislation. This is an alliance bill that has been written by scientists, lawyers and activists; it is gathering support from a broad range of campaign groups, businesses, charities and individuals, and Lymm Parish Council believes it is an important piece of legislation. The bill has the potential to become the most significant move forward since the Climate Change Act 2008. Passing the CEE bill ensures that:

Our entire carbon footprint is taken into account (including all of the emissions linked to the production and transport of goods from overseas that we consume in the UK

We don’t depend on technology (NETs) to save the day as an excuse for inaction

We focus on nature as much as climate, protecting and conserving habitats in the UK and internationally on supply chains

Citizens are central to deciding how to move forward, in a Citizens’ Assembly with real teeth

“This Bill outlines the path needed to avoid the catastrophe outlined by the United Nations... it is farsighted aiming to protect those at risk now and in the future.”
