Marlborough Climate Pledge

Are you worried about climate change?

 

Join us, a group of local people, convinced that if we work together we will make a difference. Working together as individuals and as a town, encouraging and informing each other, we can make significant differences to our energy use.

To gather support for the project, Former Environment Minister Michael Meacher, MP, spoke to a packed crowd at Marlborough Town Hall in May, 2006Meacher, who spoke passionately on the challenges we now face,  said he was bowled over by the size of the audience and its commitment to action.  Pledges and new ideas are still coming in.  
Join us, along with local businesses, schools, local councils and individuals, to make this happen!
If you haven't already done so, join us by making a pledge now. There is a support network for follow-up and further action and, by tracking our results over the next months, we will measure and publicise the difference we’re making.

The Climate Change Bill is now law - the first law of its kind in the world.
Well done and thank you to everyone who helped bring this about. This resulted in the Government increasing the target for cutting emissions to 80% by 2050 and including the UK's share of emissions from international aviation and shipping.
"People often say: Does anything change politics? Well it has here."
Nick Robinson BBC Political Editor.
Now we need to ensure that the Government turns the emission targets into action......
