Dear {NAME OF YOUR LOCAL MP} MP

​

My family and I are residents of {TOWN/CITY/LOCATION} within your constituency and I am writing to you as our local Member of Parliament.

 

I am writing to ask you to call for much greater and more urgent action to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions in real terms by 2030.

​

We believe we are witnessing the early effects of climate change now, locally, nationally and globally. This year was another record breaking dry hot summer for most of us here in the UK and globally we are witnessing clear signs of climate change on a regular basis. It is therefore extremely difficult to ignore the scientific consensus that without drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in the next 10 years, the children and grand children of our own families will face climate catastrophe unless we act now, urgently and decisively.

 

We are not climate scientists, but it is very clear that insufficient action is currently being taken by the UK to tackle this profound issue that has the potential to destroy life on earth as we currently know it. This is evident from even a very basic reading the current scientific consensus from bodies including the UN IPCC and UK's own government advisory Committee on Climate Change. The UK's Net Zero Strategy published in Oct 2021 is a step in the right direction but what is needed now are all the hard hitting policies and funding initiatives that will meaningfully lead to net zero greenhouse gas emissions well before 2050. We believe that a great deal more action is required now if this target is to be met.

 

We will be using our votes in all forthcoming elections to support candidates and main political parties who's election manifestos are fundamentally underpinned by commitments and detailed proposals to cut greenhouse gas emissions in real terms drastically within the next 10 years. We are also encouraging others to do the same.

 

If you could let us know what more actions you will call for we would be very grateful. 

​

We look forward to hearing from you and discussing this issue further.

​

Many thanks.

​

Yours Sincerely,
