Description
The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill has been developed with members of the successful Big Ask campaign (a Friends of the Earth initiative) that led to the Climate Change Act, Power for People and members of Extinction Rebellion with contributions from eminent scientists, academics and lawyers. The campaign for the CEE bill launched this August, with its introduction to Parliament in September.
Even in these early stages, the CEE Bill has received backing from a wide range of supporters from different fields including Kumi Naidoo — International Executive Director of Greenpeace International (from 2009 – 2016) and Secretary General of Amnesty International (from 2018 – 2020); Environmentalist Bill McKibben; Caroline Lucas MP; forerunner in business sustainability ‘Volans‘ and its co-founder John Elkington; as well as actor and playwright Sir David Mark Rylance Waters.
