In the face of a back-bench rebellion, the government has just defeated amendments to the Planning Bill currently in the House of Commons. This means that the new Independent Planning Commission (IPC) will not have to take climate change impact into account when considering major developments such as power stations, roads and airports.
Friends of the Earth is asking people to write to their MP to ask them to support two more amendments: to make the IPC democratically accountable, and to ensure people and communities have a meaningful right to be heard.
