The Climate Change student strike demands a re-debate of the climate emergency.
28/02/19 the first Parliamentary debate in over two years on climate change in a cross-party effort supporting an uprising of action from students on the issue was to a chamber where the seats were predominantly empty with just 10 MPs on government benches. The debate must be re-run to a full house.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
