That this House notes the decision by the United States to list the polar bear as an endangered species; expresses alarm at predictions that two-thirds of the polar bear population of 25,000 could disappear by 2050; recognises that this threat is a direct result of the Arctic sea ice habitat melting due to climate change; and urges the United States administration to introduce real environmental reforms which will help reduce carbon emissions and limit the damage caused by climate change.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
