UNEP FOURTH GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT OUTLOOK REPORT

Early day motion 2186, tabled 25 October 2007 by Colin Challen (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

That this House welcomes the publication of the UN Environment Programme 4th Global Environment Outlook report; notes that the report provides alarming evidence of the further degradation of the planet's sustainability, that this degradation threatens the lives and living standards of hundreds of millions of people, that the report is yet another step in a long process which has failed to produce an international framework designed to deal with climate change faster than the problem is being created, and that the Government has often referred to its study of such frameworks, without conclusion; and now calls on the Government to end this indeterminate process and publish, for public debate, its preferred option for a future framework to deal with climate change.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
