rdf:langString The Climate and Ecology Bill, formerly promoted under the name Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill, is a private member's bill before the Parliament of the United Kingdom aimed at tackling the climate crisis and environmental disaster. First introduced in the House of Commons in the 2019-21 session—and currently before the House of Lords in the 2022-23 session—the bill would ensure that the UK Government: * reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the remaining global carbon budget for 1.5°C * reverses the damage to the natural world by 2030 * establishes a climate and nature (citizens') assembly to recommend measures for inclusion in an all-of-government strategy. In the Commons, the bill has been presented twice by (Green MP and former Green Party leader) Caroline Lucas. In the 2019-21 session, the first reading of the CE Bill (172, 2019-20) took place on 2 September 2020. In the 2021-22 session the CE Bill (61, 2021-22) had its first reading on 21 June 2021. A second reading debate was scheduled for 6 May 2022—but the bill was not allocated time to proceed. In the 2022-23 session, the CE Bill (HL 13) was introduced in the House of Lords by (Lib Dem peer and former Lib Dem Lords energy spokesperson) Lord Redesdale. Its first reading took place on 21 May and its second reading on 15 July. Its committee stage is scheduled for 18 November.
