Members of the public give climate change solutions to MPs following ‘citizens’ assembly’

There were plenty of practical suggestions of what to do in today’s report from the Citizens Assembly brought together to look at government policy.

And with devastating wildfires raging once again on America’s west coast, there’s no doubt that climate change remains an urgent question.
