That this House celebrates Earth Day on 22 April 2025, marking its 55th anniversary; recognises the global importance of this year’s theme, Our Power, Our Planet; acknowledges that Earth Day brings together millions of people worldwide in collective action to protect the environment, and that this year’s theme highlights the need to empower individuals to drive climate solutions and hold those in power to account; notes the urgent need to triple global renewable energy generation by 2030, embracing solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and tidal power to combat climate change and secure a sustainable future; calls for ambitious investment in renewables to ensure 90% of the UK’s electricity comes from clean sources by 2030; and urges the Government to commit to doubling nature by 2050 by planting at least 60 million trees each year to restore biodiversity and tackle the climate crisis.
