Agenda 21 is a blueprint for sustainable development into the 21st Century.  Its basis was agreed during the Earth Summit at Rio in 1992, and signed by 179 Heads of State and Governments.  Is enough being done to halt Global Warming?  

 

World leaders need constant encouragement by the electorate if they are to put corrective policies in place.  Help us to keep environmental policies at the forefront of political agendas.  Leading by example.

 

 

 

The House of Lords is part of the United Kingdom Parliament.



The House of Lords considers legislation, debates issues of importance and provides a forum for government ministers to be questioned. The Committees of the House consider a wide range of issues and produce reports on them. The House of Lords is also the highest court in the United Kingdom.
