Urge your MSP to support a strong Scottish Climate Change Bill
1 May 2009
The Scottish Parliament's Climate Change Committee has just published a report on its recommendations of what should be in the Scottish Climate Change Bill.
MSPs will gather at the Parliament next Wednesday and Thursday (May 6 and 7) to debate these recommendations and decide if they should be accepted or amended.
We need as many MSPs as possible to turn up for the debate and show their support for recommendations that will strengthen the bill.
Without this, the bill could be watered down and fail to meet its potential as a world-leading piece of climate change legislation that will set the bar for global talks later this year.
To ask your MSPs (you have one constituency MSP and seven regional MSPs) to go to the debate and show support for recommendations that strengthen the bill, click here to download this simple email and send it to them as soon as possible, to make sure it gets there before the debate on Wednesday.

Oxfam Scotland welcomes scottish budget plans for maintaining commitments on international development and highlighted that international aid is more essential than ever because of the effect the global economic crisis is having on the world's poorest countries and poorest communities.
Oxfam is calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to be a 'Lifesaver' and lead the way on climate change ahead of crucial United Nations climate talks, which take place in Copenhagen in 100 days.
