Act on climate change
Challenge your local candidate to take action on climate change!
Article by : SpunOut.ie
Friends of the Earth has launched www.actforclimate.ie - a website that allows you to email the candidates running for election in your constituency, telling them climate change is an important issue to you and asking them where they stand on climate change and will they support a climate protection law if elected to the Dail.
Take action:
- Sign up to Act for Climate, add your voice to the call for a climate protection law.
- Email your Election candidates to ask them to support a climate law.
- Email your friends to ask them to play their part.
The Act for Climate campaign wants to see a climate protection law which provides for:
- An annual 'carbon budget', like the financial budget, which puts a limit on pollution sector by sector.
- Annual reductions in that carbon budget so Ireland cuts its pollution year-by-year.
- An independent climate commission to advise government on policy, with scrutiny powers like the Public Accounts Committee and the C&AG.
