According to the WWF on average (2022) the uk population emits 9.5 tonnes of CO2 per person. The parliament needs to implement measures to reduce emissions by 1.5 tonnes per person per year. This will support our home.

We understand that you are concerned about the UK's carbon footprint, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to bring this down.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
