To create new global systems and institutions that are democratically accountable, we don’t have to elect anyone new, we just have to base those institutions on the parliaments

Here is how the issue agenda is organised on the website. All of these issues are being dealt with in one way or another by virtually all parliaments.

We have focused first on what may be the most critical area of all: ensuring a life-giving planet for our children

Remember that last time the world was just 3 degrees hotter than today, the seas were 25 metres higher

This means storms, droughts, floods, rising seas… And nobody knows just how much hotter it’s going to get

This isn’t a difficult problem to solve. We have the technology now for clean energy and energy efficiency. If it costs a little more, which is debatable, better to spend a little more for our energy than to lose our planet. The shortage isn’t one of technical solutions, it’s a shortage of political will and political vision

We have to keep the remaining forests intact. Losing the Amazon alone could increase global temperatures by 2 degrees C. If that requires money, we should spend the money

We should organise 100 or more e-Parliament hearings on climate change, to build a critical mass of legislators who are informed, networked and ready to lead in their own parliaments.

This is no time for business as usual. We need a war mentality to deal with climate change. When your country is threatened, you do whatever it takes to defend yourself, no matter what it takes. When Britain was under threat in 1940, she turned [%] of her economy to arms production. We can shift to clean energy with far less effort than that, if we just have the political will.
