Environment

Climate change represents one of the gravest threats to global peace and security. Unless we join together and take bold action to tackle it, the world risks more conflict, displacement, and insecurity in the future.

The UK is leading the world by developing cutting edge technology that will help to tackle climate change and lead to a green, competitive future for our automotive supply chain.

It was great to speak to the St Albans District Green Party last night, to take their questions on environmental issues and hear what they had to say.

While it is certainly welcome that green spaces have been increasingly used and appreciated over recent months, seemingly some North Herts residents have not been bothered to dispose of their litter safely or responsibly and in turn we have seen a deluge of littering.

It was great to join BusinessGreen editor-in-chief James Murray to discuss Net Zero, COP26, environmental taxes and delivering a green recovery from Covid-19. Progress is being made but we need to make the right structural changes now to make sure that we reach our target before 2050.

Tomorrow I am hosting a Virtual Climate Change Lobby for constituents to discuss how to ensure plans to rebuild a strong economy can be made through a green lens.

Saturday 27 June marked the 1st anniversary of the UK's world leading net zero target.

The UK became the first major economy to legally commit to reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
