For the first time in two years, climate change is being debated on the floor of the House of Commons, Thursday afternoon.



To maximise impact, as many MPs as possible need to attend.



Please tweet, message, email, etc your MP to ask them to attend, and - even better - ask a question about carbon fee and dividend.



Here’s an example:



”During the debate, please could you ask the government to seriously consider a rising fee on fossil fuels at source and the money collected given back to citizens as a dividend? This would cover 100 percent of fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, whereas currently the EU ETS only covers 20 percent, and protect people on low and middle incomes.”



If you are emailing we suggest that you use the subject line: ‘Please attend the climate change debate’



The debate comes under the title ‘The UK’s progress towards net zero carbon emissions’ so this is an especially relevant debate.



We are very proud that the MP leading the debate is Layla Moran, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, in direct response to the school climate strikes and the work that our Oxford members have done with her.
