- Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity and one that requires all countries to work together.
- Britain can, and should, be leading the way on addressing, and prioritising, climate action and that begins with setting a good example.
- By encouraging trade with more distant countries, weaponising ULEZ in recent by-elections , u-turning on key climate action pledges and granting new oil and gas licences, this Government has demonstrated that they are prioritising short term electoral gain over long term climate action.
Previous reactive lines:
Charles Rose – “The Prime Minister says he’s dealing with reality, but the reality is that delaying these policies will cost us more down the line, and is already undermining private investment in the UK. At a time when the US is pumping billions into cutting emissions and China is leading on green tech, we can’t afford for Sunak to hit the snooze button on climate action.”
Caroline Lucas – “This would be a staggering increase in emissions – and one entirely driven by this Government’s ideological opposition to the European single market. Time is running out in the race for our future yet the Government is taking us further down the track towards climate chaos, rather than comprehensively decarbonising our economy in line with climate science and demonstrating authoritative global leadership.”
