1) Government tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological crisis, reverse inconsistent policies and work alongside the media to communicate the truth to citizens.
2) Government enact legally binding policies to reduce carbon emissions in the UK to net zero by 2025 and reduce consumption levels.
3) Government help form a national Citizens Assembly to oversee changes, as part of creating a democracy fit for purpose.
