Pledge 1: Climate Justice💚
@TheGreenParty will demand a Green New Deal that will decarbonise energy, housing, and transport, while providing millions of jobs. We would be carbon neutral by 2030, and we would start now. #GE2019

Pledge 2: People's Vote🇪🇺
@TheGreenParty are the party of Remain & Transform, recognising the EU's great potential in helping tackle the climate crisis and improve the lives of workers, low-income families, and refugees. #GE2019

Pledge 3: NHS Reinstatement👨⚕️
The selling-off and marketisation of our NHS under successive Labour, Coalition and Tory governments is a scandal. We would reverse that and extend the NHS's founding principle of universal, free healthcare. #SaveOurNHS #GE2019

Pledge 4: Access to Higher Education👩🎓
University tuition fees are a barrier and a burden to our young people. @TheGreenParty would scrap them - and we would 100% commit to off existing student debt for those who studied under the £9k tuition fee regime. #GE2019

Pledge 5: Sustainable Economy🌍
We cannot afford to overshoot the limits of our planet. We would set binding targets on biodiversity, soil health and water quality and create a powerful new body to enforce these protections. The alternative is the #SixthMassExtinction. #GE2019

Pledge 6: Future Generations🤱
Our children, and our children's children, deserve as much of a life as we do. Our society, economy and government must balance the needs of the future with those of the present, including through a UK Future Generations Commissioner. #GE2019

Pledge 7: Universal Basic Income (UBI)💰
A UBI would end the awful effects of job insecurity and open opportunities to all, while making many people better off. This is an idea, long championed by @TheGreenParty, whose time has come. #GE2019

Pledge 8: New Homes to Meet Need🏗️
@TheGreenParty would build 100,000 zero-carbon homes for social housing each year. We would ensure local authorities have the funding to renovate and convert homes to the highest green standards. #GE2019

Pledge 9: Renters' Rights🏡
People renting in this country go through unnecessary trials and hardships. @TheGreenParty would end no-fault evictions, introduce rent controls to make renting affordable and fair, and support community-led housing initiatives. #GE2019

Pledge 10: Make Votes Matter🙋♀️
The current First Past the Post system is archaic and leaves millions with no voice. We would introduce Proportional Representation, so every vote counts, replace the House of Lords with an elected body, and let 16-17 year olds vote. #GE2019
