Carbon Reduction Funds

EDM number 2132 in 2008-09, proposed by Alan Meale on 21/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Climate change and Local government.

That this House agrees that in order to prevent further climate-related catastrophies, radical action is required at global and local levels; understands that one step towards achieving this goal would be the involvement of local authorities in reducing carbon dioxide emissions via the introduction of measures to reduce local road traffic in their areas; and calls on the Government to help local authorities towards these endeavours by providing sufficient finance to establish a Carbon Reduction Fund for local authorities to use to improve public transport, encourage and make it safer for people to walk and cycle in or around their communities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs.
