Gina Dowding (pictured above with Caroline Lucas MP) has been selected to stand for The Green Party in the Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency in the next general election (expected 2024). 

Gina has a wealth of political experience and success as a  Lancaster City Councillor, Lancashire County Councillor and was formerly Green MEP for the North West ( July 2019-January 2020).

This site provides information on Gina’s General Election campaign, and links to some of her councillor work. It also stands as a record of her work as an MEP, and the reports she published.

The Green New Deal in the North West 

The Green New Deal in the North West report presents a framework for how we can fundamentally transform society in the face of the current climate emergency. Gina launched the report in 2019 when she was MEP:  but  the principles of a just transition are as applicable today to the Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency. 

The report identifies five key areas  where critical change is required: renewable energy supply; energy-efficient buildings; sustainable transport; a zero-carbon, circular economy; and land use, food and biodiversity.

The report outlines key opportunities and examples of best practice from across the region, setting out some of the policies that are needed to scale-up action. Find out more about the Green New Deal and download a copy of the report here

The launch in Manchester was attended by a range of expert guest speakers, including Green Party member of the House of Lords, Baroness Natalie Bennett.
