Labour MP Clive Lewis and Caroline Lucas of the Green Party join lawmakers from US, Brazil, EU and Costa Rica in new global climate justice campaign. Leading progressive lawmakers from the UK, USA, Brazil, Costa Rica, and the European Parliament are among those joining forces in a new Global Alliance for a Green New Deal today, in a bid to promote the case for "a rapid and just transition in response to Covid-19 and the climate and nature crises".

The Alliance calls for the creation of "a new internationalism based on cooperation, collaboration and global justice" in order to address the interlinked climate, biodiversity, and coronavirus crises. It adds that a 'Green New Deal' should be placed at the heart of national and global Covid economic recovery efforts. Among the 21 founding politicians in the Alliance are British MPs Clive Lewis from the Labour Party and the Green
Party's Caroline Lucas, who both co-chair the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Green New Deal in the UK.
