6. Emergency motion re Heathrow passes

   " The Green Party of England and Wales calls on the government to reverse its decision to build a new runway at Heathrow airport, we call instead for investment in more ecologically friendly forms of transport and other projects such renewable power sources and home insulation that contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. We note that a new Heathrow runway is very likely to contribute to an increase in these emissions, worsen the already bad health profile in the vicinity of Heathrow and possibly spread such problems of other adjacent areas, as well as destroying an existing village community. We deplore the decision not to allow a parliamentary vote on the Heathrow runway and support John McDonnell´s protest against this. We also support the campaigns of Non-violent direct action against Heathrow, and air travel expansion in general, organised by such bodies as the Climate Camp and Plane Stupid. The Green Party of England and Wales will continue to support such protests and opposition to air travel expansion in general and to campaign for a just transition to a low carbon economy which creates new forms of employment."
