Motion text

That this House condemns President Trump’s formal withdrawal from the Paris Agreement; criticises this reckless decision to ignore the climate crisis and continue the extraction of fossil fuels; further condemns the breakdown of climate consensus that this has given rise to in the UK; notes the devastating impacts of America leaving the Paris Agreement to global climate action; expresses concern over reports that other countries are considering following the actions of America to leave the Paris Agreement; highlights the importance of renewable energy to the UK’s energy security and to ensuring affordable energy for households and businesses; further highlights the devastating social and economic impacts of climate inaction globally, as well as within the UK; further notes that aligning ourselves with allies who are similarly committed to tackling the climate crisis is a matter of urgency; and finally calls on the Government to build the UK's relationship with our European partners, link the UK and EU emissions trading scheme, join the EU’s internal electricity market, and re-join the European Environment Agency.
