General Election 2019 – A cleaner, greener, healthier, fairer UK? #GE2019

Manchester Friends of the Earth is asking all the candidates standing in Greater Manchester constituencies in the General Election on 12th December 2019 their views on key environment issues such as Climate Change, air pollution, transport and waste.

During the run-up to an election, parliamentary candidates listen to what their voters care about and make commitments for what they would do if they were in office. Commitments we can then hold them to.

Climate change, nature, and human wellbeing are inextricably linked. If these are not addressed adequately then the cost to current and future generations in terms of lives lost, livelihoods damaged, and economic harm will be severe. It is the poorest in the world who are suffering most, despite contributing least to the problem.

If you are a candidate standing for election in one of the Greater Manchester parliamentary constituencies please complete our 2019 General Election survey. Thank you.

The next Government must demonstrate global leadership on shared environmental problems, especially climate change – which is already bringing chaos to the lives of millions in the world’s poorest countries and flooding misery here in the North West and in other areas of the United Kingdom.
