Use the Green New Deal to rebuild the economy after the COVID19 crisis/recession
Make the Green New Deal the model to rebuild the UK economy after this crisis.
Lead the world, ahead of COP26, & use this time to create a low-carbon economy that protects against future & larger crises caused by climate breakdown.
Create millions of jobs in green sectors that lead to a 2°C world.
COVID19 demonstrates the fragility of society in times of crisis. Climate change, through food insecurity, water scarcity, climate refugees etc., will create similar but larger crises in the near future.
The previous economic system guaranteed an increase in global temperatures to well above 2°C. Scientists show +2°C is the last point of safety.
COVID-19 shows we can make huge economic & social changes in times of crisis, but the bigger, climate crisis is still ahead. We must change path now.
