Reduce CO2 emissions to net-zero by 2030, and involvement in EU by 80% by 2050
The Government and Parliament are paralysed by Brexit and are unable to do anything about the Climate and Ecological Crisis until Brexit is resolved. They believe the UK population thinks 'Brexit now' is more important than 'a hospitable planet in 30 years' time'.
I urge Govt to pause (not cancel) Brexit, committing to reduce involvement in EU by 80% by 2050 (relative to 1990 levels, measured by whatever creative accountancy the Government deems appropriate in response to the problems of EU membership); and in the meantime to fundamentally reform our political and economic systems as far as is necessary to reduce TOTAL UK emissions to net-zero by 2030 (including aviation, shipping, agriculture and imports/exports). Once done, consider continuing Brexit.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is not clear what action you are asking for by reducing EU involvement by 80 per cent.
You may wish to consider starting a petition that deals specifically with what you would like to happen to the UK's relationship with the European Union, or on climate targets.
You may also wish to consider signing the following petition that relates to the net-zero target
