The UK Health Alliance on Climate Change has joined with representatives of UK business, unions, NGOs, voluntary and community sector organisations and others in an open letter to the Prime Minister.
The letter, which was coordinated by Friends of the Earth, comes 100 days before the government is legally obliged to produce a new climate plan.
The letter was sent to the Prime Minister and published in The Guardian.
It says: “Boldness in this plan includes clear steps for delivering policy that ensures the UK meets all of its domestic carbon budgets and international climate commitments. Boldness will also enable your government to be the global climate leader that you and your ministers have said it will be. Fairness means making sure that everyone benefits from the net zero transition, and that no-one is left behind. Marginalised communities are already disproportionately impacted by climate change. Fairness in climate policy is also essential so that the long-standing public mandate for action can be maintained.
“A bold and fair plan will help deliver cheap and reliable energy, security and resilience, warm homes, clean air, widespread public transport, thriving nature, healthy workplaces, and well-paid green jobs that are accessible to all communities. It will also be fully and fairly funded through public and private investment to unlock the economic opportunity for the 21st century.”
