Counting on … day 29

29th January 2024

Voting 

This year the UK will hold a general election and gain a new government. Will that new government be willing and able to tackle the climate crisis? Will it encourage investment in new green industries? Will it help households and companies to transition to net zero ways of living and working? Will it lead the way globally in fulfilling its commitments to provide finance for the vulnerable nations that are already significantly adversely affected by climate change?

Such questions also holds true for local elections.

It is important that we use our vote, and that we ask the important questions of  parties  and their candidates. Greenpeace is  encouraging everyone to be a climate-savvy voter.
