Climate Parliament

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elected legislators have all the power to swing the world towards a more climate-friendly path.The Climate Parliament is a global cross-party network of legislators, set up in 2006, to bring on a common platform concerned legislators who will together prevent climate change and promote renewable energy. The Parliament is dedicated to building an energy system that is sustainable and low-cost by helping MPs in Asia, Africa and Europe make that renewable switch. Legislators are supported by a secretariat of experts and researchers. The Parliament believes that tools, technology and resources already exist for renewables to ‘outcompete’ fossil fuel on price – without subsidies. It also promotes decentralized ‘power to the people’ models through off-gird and mini village-based grid systems, mobilizing bond markets and other private investment and, most important of all, builds political will.
