The UK is battling extreme heat waves this summer. Some areas of the country might even reach temperatures of 40 degrees - that would be the highest temperature EVER recorded in the UK. This is a climate crisis.

We need the government to take this crisis seriously. We need programmes that invest in efficient homes, poverty elimination and a transition away from climate-wrecking fossil fuels to clean renewables.

Sign now to support a Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal is a plan to:

1. Rapidly cut our emissions by modernising our energy, transport, housing and food systems
2. Create millions of secure and well-paid jobs that benefit our communities and cut carbon – jobs that are desperately needed to prevent mass unemployment after the pandemic
3. Build thriving public services – investing and expanding our health and social care, transport and education systems
4. Tackle rampant inequality by investing first in communities that need it most
5. Stand shoulder to shoulder with people around the world fighting for a safe climate and fair chance.
