Meeting details
Come and join me at National Climate March- Nick Clegg
(Saturday, December 6, 2008)
Meeting type: | Campaigning session |
Date: | Saturday, December 6, 2008 |
Time: | 11.30am - 11.30am |
I want you to join me there.
Liberal Youth along with elected Liberal Democrats from across the country are going to be leading the Liberal Democrat contingent on the march. They are meeting at 11.30am at Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park.
I know that many Liberal Democrat members are already planning on going to this important event. I hope that you can make it too. We want as many Liberal Democrats on the march as possible in order to demonstrate clear our dedication to the environmental cause.
At Westminster we have been leading the way on strengthening the Government's Climate Change Bill and Energy Bill. On climate change we tabled the successful amendment to increase the target for CO2 cuts by 2050 from 60% to 80%, and helped to ensure that international aviation and shipping emissions are reflected in the targets. We also backed successful amendments to the Energy Bill to bring in a system of 'feed-in tariffs' where individuals and communities will get a guaranteed price for the renewable energy they generate. Without Liberal Democrat pressure in the Commons and the Lords, it is unlikely that any of these changes would have been made.
We must keep up that pressure to ensure that the environment remains right at the top of the political agenda. This march is a chance to do that.
Best wishes,
Nick Clegg MP
Leader of the Liberal Democrats
