Last year, you took a crucial step in voicing your concern about the climate crisis by signing my petition, urging the BBC to host a climate leadership debate during the Conservative leadership race. Your support was instrumental in garnering an incredible response, with 500 signatures within just two weeks. I was truly inspired by the overwhelming commitment of people like you who care deeply about the future of our planet.

In hindsight, there was not enough time to influence the BBC's broadcasting schedule at that moment. Since then, the urgency of the climate emergency has only intensified, and the challenges we face—such as leaky homes, polluted water and air, and energy insecurity—persist without significant progress.

Today, I am reaching out to you with an even more pressing call to action. We now have, at most, just 18 months until the next General Elections, and there are even talks of it taking place this winter. In light of this impending opportunity for change, I have started a new campaign, calling on the BBC to host a climate leadership debate in the lead-up to the next General Elections.

Your support is vital to make this campaign a resounding success. By signing the new petition at https://www.change.org/bbc-climate-leadership-debate you can help us send a powerful message to our leaders and the media about the urgency of addressing the climate crisis. Together, we can make climate policy and #SecuringOurFuture core issues when selecting our next leader.

I am thrilled to share that Green Party's Zack Polanski and Sian Berry have already expressed their support through social media, and we hope to get more prominent supporters joining us every day, we stand a real chance of turning the tide and driving meaningful change.

Reflecting on the incredible response we received from people like you last year, I am humbled by the collective impact we can achieve. Your voice matters, and by adding your signature to the new petition, you can once again be at the forefront of this critical movement.

Thank you for your support to the cause. Let's rally together, share the petition widely among friends and family, and work to push climate action to the forefront of political agendas.

The time to act is now, and your signature could be the turning point we need to make a profound difference. Sign the new petition today, and together, let's shape a better, greener, and more sustainable world.
