It is widely recognised, although not yet by Barnet Council, that we are facing a climate emergency. Alongside action at an international, national and community level, tackling the climate emergency should be at the heart of the council’s work.
The Barnet Conservatives have refused to declare a climate emergency in Barnet.
Please help us by signing our petition:
Petition: Climate emergency
We, the undersigned, petition Barnet Council to agree the following: 1. To declare a climate emergency. 2. Ensure all council decision-making includes an assessment of the decision’s environmental impact. 3. To set up a Barnet citizen's climate emergency panel to support the development of climate change and sustainability action plans and to monitor the council's progress in implementing the plans and mitigating climate change. 4. To start a recruitment process for the panel, inviting Barnet residents and representatives from businesses, community groups and local climate change and environmental groups to join.
