SCIAF is calling on MPs elected in this Parliament to take action to help make the world a better place. We hope you can join with us by giving support SCIAF's pledge below.
As a newly elected MP, I promise to champion action to:
- Fix the food system: At the heart of the UK’s development plan there must be a commitment to tackle global hunger, fix food systems and promote sustainable food practices.
- Promote Climate Action: The UK must lead on tackling the climate crisis, given our role in creating it. All new fossil fuel investment must be stopped, with money spent on green, renewable energy instead.
- Restore Aid: In 2020, the UK reduced international aid spending from 0.7% of GNI to 0.5%. This resulted in millions of pounds being taken from the hands of the poorest people in the world, those struggling for food, clean water and shelter. This must be reversed.
- Challenge Corporate Power: A Business, Human Rights and Environment Act must be brought forward, ensuring UK companies prevent environmental harm and human rights abuses in their supply chains.
- Bring Hope in the Holy Land: The UK has a moral obligation to advocate for a just and lasting peace for both Palestinians and Israelis in the Holy Land where security, human rights and equality are realised for all.
