Climate change motion
below
“ As part of our commitment to intergenerational
solidarity,
we call on the National Pensioners’ Convention to campaign, with Unions, the TUC and relevant pressure groups for Government to plan for immediate transition to a carbon zero economy, including: · support for wind, tidal and solar energy; · retrofit of public buildings to become carbon neutral · abandon fracking and the import of any fracked gas or tar sand oil · transfer fossil fuel subsidies to sustainable energy generation · phase out of fossil fuel power. We note that · Keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius or below is essential if human civilisation is to be sustained. · The technology exists to make a transition to a sustainable carbon neutral society, but this is incompatible with high levels of inequality and personal consumption.” |
