More than 5,000 people from all over England came to Westminster on Wednesday to meet deputies and demand an emergency climate action to meet their communities.

The mass lobby is the largest lobbies to date. Components, including parents and retirees, doctors, teachers, farmers and youth campaignists, have arranged about 80% of the total at least 500 deputies lobbying.

Before the event, a giant image was reflected on Dover’s white cliffs and “89% of people want climate action”. In April, Guardian reports about the climate “silent majority – – 89% of the people in the world want more to be done, but assumes that a small number of people shared their views.

MPs will be asked to guarantee a green future in order to cut energy bills and creating work, restore nature and help communities in the United Kingdom and in the UK.

The new survey data shared with Guardian offers more evidence of the silent majority of the climate, and many British people support the net zero target, but only one out of 10 people says they regularly share their climatic views.

Helen Meech, General Manager of Climate Coalition, said, “People throughout the UK are taking steps to protect their favorite things to secure their work and hot houses from clean air and green spaces. This is one of the greatest democratic moments for climate and nature, and the chance to act is not only popular for our future.”

Charlotte Howell, the co -director of the parents for the future, said: “As parents, our biggest priority is to keep our children safe and healthy at the moment and in the future. We clearly demonstrate that the climate action is not optional for MPs, critical.”

WWF General Manager Tanya Steele said, “The mass lobby of today’s deputies should be a turning point, a moment to show our leaders, founders, people and nature in a country where we can develop together.”

Mass lobby, publishers Konnie Huq and Stephen Fry, actors Brian Cox, David Harewood and Bonnie Wright and writers were supported by dozens of public figures such as Ben Okri and Mark Haddon. Okri contributed to the dover image of a favorite tree with a storm. “The destruction of forests in the world is a silent modern tragedy,” he said.

The authority said that the government “doubled British’s powerful aspects of clean energy, and spends billions to finance the climate adaptation for millions of people around the world. “These actions reflect our invariant commitment to climate, energy safety and social justice together,” he said.

A survey Climatic barometer He found that only one of the 10 British people said that they regularly express their climate views. In the survey, about two -thirds of the British support the 2050 net zero target, local solar parks and local wind floor, but half of these supporters remain silent or silent about climate.

The co -director of the climatic barometer. Niall McLoughlin said that a reason for this hesitation could be “perception gaps ,, and that people believe that their views on climate problems were not shared by others. “This is not the case,” he said.

For example, only 16% of people thought that new pilons and electrical lines would have majority support for local renewable energy, in fact, 60% of the people support it.

“If we want to make progress on climate change, it is very important to break this silence spiral, Mc said McLOUHLİL. “Sharing the support to meet the climate action can play a key role in driving with the people we encounter. There is no time to waste it – public figures and politicians should show real leadership.”

Survey findings published in June From 13 countries representing almost half of the world’s population, 77% of the people were more willing to support a political island that gives priority to pollutant companies such as oil, gas and coal companies and super -rich companies with large carbon footprints.
