Supporting the MEP election candidates who are standing up
for the climate and the natural world.
We are supporting candidates standing as independents in the upcoming MEP elections. The Climate & Ecological Emergency Independents are inspired by the Youth Strikes 4 Climate, Greta Thunberg and the Extinction Rebellion movement. Their collective actions have created a shift in public awareness around the need to urgently act on the climate emergency.
We want to take this kind of energy to Europe, to demonstrate a different kind of politics that goes beyond party politics. A politics that is more human and ordinary and says, in the face of climate collapse, we can face this together.
We have three aims:
1. The Council of Ministers and the European Parliament must tell the truth and take action to declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency.
2. The Declaration on a Climate and Ecological Emergency must demand a zero carbon Europe by a date no later than 2030.
3. National Citizen Assemblies on Climate & Ecological Justice must be instituted and have a leading role in shaping a zero carbon Europe."
