Most Gracious Sovereign,

humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed
to both Houses of Parliament.
Amendment (a)
Caroline Lucas
At end add ‘but believes that the measures in the Gracious Speech fail to deliver the
urgent transformative action which the environment and climate emergency demand;
calls on your Government to enact a Green New Deal to restructure and decarbonise
the economy and restore nature, based on alternative measures of economic success
to GDP, and including public investment of 5 per cent of GDP on well-paid jobs and
new industries country-wide; urges your Government to establish a Committee on
Sustainability to advise on restoring and protecting ecosystems; further urges your
Government to prioritise climate justice, the reversal of social and economic inequality
and the revitalisation of democracy, with legislation to end public spending on fossil
fuel projects overseas, to contribute a fair share to international climate finance for
mitigation and adaptation alongside loss and damage, and to deliver a universal basic
income, proportional voting, votes at 16, citizens assemblies, and end to privatising
public services including the NHS and a reversal of cuts inflicted on local government
since 2010.
