Climate Emergency Petition
In April 2019, we launched our petition urging North Tyneside Council to declare a Climate Emergency.
We held a launch event – led by Campaigner Nick Martin – and called on the Council to make the following commitments:
1. Commit to making North Tyneside borough carbon neutral by 20302. Set specific targets to reduce carbon emissions in all council activities and spheres of influence including housing, transport, domestic waste
3. Provide an initial report on progress towards these targets in 6 months and thereafter annually
4. Include carbon reduction implications in all policy decision-making
5. End Council investment in fossil fuels within 3 years, and call for staff pension fund divestment in the same.
