Next week MPs will debate the Climate and Nature Bill – and the Bishop of Norwich is urging people to write to their MP, asking them to back the bill.
He was also one of the signatories of a letter from faith leaders to the Prime Minister, saying: “It is difficult to overstate the urgency of this legislation.”
Fellow signatories include former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, Senior Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, Trupti Patel the president of the Hindu Forum of Britain and the chairman of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board Imam Qari Asim.
They asked Sir Keir Starmer, the UK government and the Labour Party to support the passage of the bill through Parliament.
The proposed cross-party legislation would commit to two key international commitments on climate and nature already agreed by the previous Conservative government, and 196 other nations.
They are to avoid warming exceeding the 1.5 degrees centigrade threshold agreed in 2015, and to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.
Bishop Graham has also recorded a video explaining how the bill is a historic opportunity to tackle the environmental crises we face.
The Second Reading of the Climate and Nature Bill is on Friday January 24.
