Oxfordshire's Liberal Democrat MPs are backing a landmark bill to put the UK back on track to meet climate and nature commitments. 

Olly Glover, Charlie Maynard, Calum Miller, Layla Moran and Freddie Van Mierlo, have backed the bill that would put the UK back on course to meet its international climate and nature targets. 

If passed, the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill would update the UK’s climate and environmental legislation in line with commitments that the Government has already made internationally.

The Oxfordshire MPs said they would push the government to support the bill which was introduced by Liberal Democrat MP Roz Savage, who holds four World Records for ocean rowing.

They said in a statement: “Over recent weeks and months we have heard from countless people here in Oxfordshire about just how worried they are about the future of our environment.

“That is why we are extremely proud to back Roz’s bill which represents our best chance of protecting our natural environment and building the industries of the future. 

“After years of the previous Conservative government’s failure to live up to our international obligations, this bill can put the UK back on track to meet our commitments and give the next generations the security that they deserve.

“It is an opportunity that we cannot pass up and I hope that the government works with us to get this landmark legislation passed.”
