GREENPEACE UK

Hi Manfred,

 

We’re less than 9 months away until the UK hosts the most important global meeting on the climate and nature crisis since the Paris climate talks. Yesterday was Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s chance to prove he's willing to spend money on much-promised climate action. But he failed.

 

The government have been saying for months now that they want to build back better, but better for who exactly? Switch on the news today and you’ll likely hear awful stories about yet another round of job losses. [1] Behind every job loss is someone’s livelihood, their hopes and self-esteem.

 

If the Chancellor is serious about securing a green recovery, then he’s going to need an army of people to make it happen - and the investment in place to create millions of new jobs. [2] The UK needs to put people back to work and tackle the climate and nature emergency. By creating green jobs, the government can do both.

 

Can you quickly sign this petition and ask the government to create 1.8 million new green jobs?
