ver 1,000 climate scientists, academics, and medical professionals have signed a letter urging MPs to support a bold new bill to tackle the climate and nature crises.
The Climate and Nature Bill (CAN Bill) is a proposed piece of legislation in the UK that aims to address the interlinked climate and ecological crises in a “holistic” manner.
It aims to reduce UK emissions in line with the country’s fair share of the remaining global carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
The bill also sets a goal to halt and reverse nature’s destruction by 2030. To do this, backers propose a radical, integrated plan that involves all parts of the government to address these crises.
