Cafod Campaign – ‘Net Zero’ Petition

As you may be aware, the Amazon is being destroyed by fire, hurricanes have recently
ripped across the globe and record temperatures have been recorded here in the UK.
Climate change is making its devastating presence felt.
The recent government announcement to reach ‘net zero’ is great news, but without big,
bold policies, it’s another meaningless soundbite, and without our voices, politicians will
do nothing more, and the current political instability in Westminster is distracting our
politicians so we must keep up the pressure.
There is a petition in the porch that you are encouraged to sign which will be sent to the
Prime Minister by CAFOD. If you would like additional copies of the petition to pass
around to others, they can be downloaded and printed from www.cafod.org.uk/climate
