LETTER: Climate change is an urgent problem

Climate change is the most urgent problem faced by humanity. It threatens our way of life, the security and well-being of our children, and the ecosystems on which all life on earth depends. It is a problem that transcends national boundaries, with solutions that require international cooperation with our European partners, global institutions and countries around the world.

Action on a local level is also essential, to decarbonise our transport and energy systems, and to engage local communities in this effort. Please join me, therefore, in calling on South Holland District Council to follow the lead of 27 other councils around the UK (including Bradford, Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, Nottingham and many others) and declare a climate emergency, to commit to urgent action to reduce carbon emissions.
