CONGRATS to the #Equity Nobel Prize #SDG16

This #fff Friday 11 October #climatestrikes is again going global. Students from #USA to #Russia, from Spain to Poland, from Uganda to Japan, are going on strike: for the climate, and for our future.
What first started as a one-person protest by a #Sweden teenager #GretaThunberg, has now gathered momentum and spread all across the world. Already over 2000 events are planned in over 100 countries!

If the striking kids inspire you and you want to help, but aren’t sure how, take a look: here are 5 meaningful ways in which you can support the school climate strikes.
First thing you can do: spread the word! Let your friends know about the school strikes to inspire and mobilise others:
The moral authority of these striking kids has the potential to transform the #climateconsequences. They know that their future is on the line, and are acting like it. As adults, we can help: by getting their message to reach far and wide, by offering practical support with logistics, or joining the strikes as allies.
Are you already supporting the school strikes, or planning to? Share with us what you’re doing, send photos or videos – together we’re going to inspire others.
But most importantly: don’t let the young people do all the work! The #climatecrisis needs every single one of us to take action and fight for a #fossilfree future – that’s why together, we’re building a global grassroots #climatemovement.
The most meaningful way to support the school strikes is to listen, and respond, to their urgent call to action on #climatechange. Are you ready? Option number 5 might be just the thing for you.

In #solidarity with students all over the world.

That this House declares an environment and climate emergency following the finding of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change that to avoid a more than 1.5°C rise in global warming, global emissions would need to fall by around 45 per cent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero by around 2050; recognises the devastating impact that volatile and extreme weather will have on UK food production, water availability, public health and through flooding and wildfire damage; notes that the UK is currently missing almost all of its biodiversity targets, with an alarming trend in species decline, and that cuts of 50 per cent to the funding of Natural England are counterproductive to tackling those problems; calls on the Government to increase the ambition of the UK’s climate change targets under the Climate Change Act 2008 to achieve net zero emissions before 2050, to increase support for and set ambitious, short-term targets for the roll-out of renewable and low carbon energy and transport, and to move swiftly to capture economic opportunities and green jobs in the low carbon economy while managing risks for workers and communities currently reliant on carbon intensive sectors; and further calls on the Government to lay before the House within the next six months urgent proposals to restore the UK’s natural environment and to deliver a circular, zero waste economy.

Today the House must declare an environment and climate emergency. We have no time to waste. We are living in a climate crisis that will spiral dangerously out of control unless we take rapid and dramatic action now. This is no longer about a distant future; we are talking about nothing less than the irreversible destruction of the environment within the lifetimes of Members.

Young people know this. They have the most to lose. A few weeks ago, like many other Members on both sides of the House, I was deeply moved to see the streets outside Parliament filled with colour and the noise of children chanting “Our planet, our future”. For someone of my generation, it was inspiring but also humbling that children felt that they had to leave school to teach us adults a lesson. The truth is that they are ahead of the politicians on this, the most important issue of our time. We are witnessing an unprecedented upsurge of climate activism, with groups such as Extinction Rebellion forcing the politicians in this building to listen. For all the dismissive and offensive column inches that the protesters have provoked, they are a massive and, I believe, very necessary wake-up call. Today we have the opportunity to say, “We hear you.”
