Climate Parliament

The Climate Parliament is an international cross-party network of legislators, dedicated to preventing climate change and promoting renewable energy. We support parliamentarians to undertake initiatives at national and regional levels to help accelerate the global renewable switch at the speed and scale required. The Climate Parliament has been supporting MPs in their work on renewable energy for over five years, and has established a network of legislators from across Asia, Africa and Europe, all dedicated to effecting the renewables transition.

Ultimately, every law and every budget must be approved by a national Congress or Parliament. Elected legislators are the one group of people in the world who have all the levers they need to solve the climate problem: they vote on laws, taxes and budgets, oversee the operations of government, and have direct access to Ministers, Prime Ministers and Presidents. By informing them about the dangers of climate change and the opportunities for action, and by providing those who are ready to act with staff support and expert advice, the Climate Parliament can have a major impact. Read more about How We Work with MPs and legislators.

The Climate Parliament is structured in three parts: an international parliamentary Network made up of over a hundred MPs and legislators from around the world; a Secretariat of experts and researchers who provide staff support to the network; and a Board of Trustees. Our work is made possible through the generous assistance of a number of Supporters.

Time is running out: we need legislative action now, on every continent. The Climate Parliament is linking up concerned legislators around the globe. Through national parliamentary groups, international meetings and Internet outreach, we’re pressing for both public and private investment to switch the world’s power supply to renewables – before it is too late.
