ILKLEY Town Council has passed a resolution to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill. This is due to have its second reading in the UK Parliament at Westminster later in the year. The Bill requires the Government to ensure the UK plays its fair and proper role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure that UK consumption emissions are properly accounted for. It also demands the protection and restoration of biodiverse habitats along overseas supply chains. It would establish a Citizen’s Assembly to engage with Parliament to fulfil an emergency strategy on climate and biodiversity. The Town Council will now write to Ilkley’s MP Robbie Moore to ask him to support the Bill when it comes before Parliament, and will add its name to the list of Councils supporting the Bill that is being compiled by the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill Alliance.
