Open letter to UK political parties signed by
over 400 leading UK climate scientists
An open letter signed has been signed by over 400 leading UK climate scientists urging all political parties to lead on climate action with robust climate policies.
It calls for party leaders to address 5 key areas and states that:
"It is very clear that failure to tackle climate change with sufficient urgency and scale is making the UK and the rest of the world more dangerous and insecure... It is the UK's self-interest for other countries to reach net zero emissions as soon as possible."
