There, we met with thousands of people from around the country – from school children, young people, volunteers to farmers, councillors and doctors – to urge our MPs to back immediate action for wildlife and climate change.
The rally took place following a call last month from the government’s climate advisers for the UK to set a more ambitious target for eliminating the emissions driving dangerous temperature rises and ahead of Parliament debating a new Environment Bill. The Wildlife Trusts believe that the bill must deliver ambitious targets for wildlife and a legally-binding Nature Recovery Network.
195 MPs came out to meet the crowds and talk about what work they plan to do to help ensure a strong Environment Act, including Sir Patrick Mcloughlin and Ruth George from Derbyshire.
