• 08 Feb 2024 Important meeting with @doylech @Caabu on the impact of climate change & political instability in Libya & the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. The UK must do its utmost to support international law, human rights & the impact of climate change in the Middle East & North Africa. https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1755562683695350129/photo/1 [Source]
• 22 Jan 2024 New oil & gas licences will mean higher bills & carbon emissions. Yet, this is what the Tories are prioritising over cheaper renewables which are the best option for the planet & our constituents' finances. I called out the Government's hypocritical record on climate change???? https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1749481660217733554/video/1 [Source]
• 05 Jan 2024 Thank you @UoMPolicy @UoMGraphene for the opportunity to see the impressive work happening at GEIC, including developing more sustainable concrete that will help us meet net zero targets. Manchester still at the forefront of innovation! https://twitter.com/1001408503/status/1742916013438669306 [Source]
• 21 Dec 2023 Earlier this month I had the opportunity to talk to @BBCRadioManc about COP28 and the importance of establishing a Loss and Damage Fund. The agreements made at COP28 are an important start, but we all must go further for true climate justice. https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1737835356748399099/video/1 [Source]
• 12 Dec 2023 It was a great privilege to go to COP28 and have the opportunity to hear climate solutions from experts from all backgrounds. It's clear: countries need to be ambitious and follow through with commitments. Listen to my full thoughts on the conference on my last day there ???? https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1734544935813050820/video/1 [Source]
• 05 Dec 2023 At #COP28 I moderated a panel discussion on Health and Climate joined by @JemilahMahmood, Dr Sirotin, Dr Itinteang, and Nathalie Beasnael. Important conversation on global health and climate change. Innovative solutions can help us all overcome these health challenges. ???? ???? ????️ https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1732040439610716182/photo/1 [Source]
• 04 Dec 2023 It's a privilege to be at COP28 this week to meet policymakers, campaigners, scientists, and more to discuss the climate crisis and how we can all work together to find real policy solutions. ????

• 28 Nov 2023 The @theCCCuk reported the UK is no longer a climate leader. The Tories have scrapped ambitious targets, sacked the Climate Envoy, approved new oil fields, and their own Ministers resigned over the lack of interest. We don't just need ambitious goals, we need ambitious actions. https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1729505458287780194/video/1 [Source]
• 24 Nov 2023 It is absolutely vital we ensure the voices of young people are heard in climate activism. I'm proud primary school children were able to attend my Mini-COP28 in Manchester to highlight the need for urgent and ambitious climate action before it's too late. https://twitter.com/ThatsManchester/status/1728094807380181456 [Source]
• 21 Nov 2023 Pleased to sponsor the launch of this report in Parliament. Solar energy is hugely important in tackling climate change, but the solar supply chain is linked to forced labour amongst Uyghur Muslims. It's important the UK builds a green & resilient solar supply chain. @CSRI_UK https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1727013742582612001/photo/1 https://twitter.com/CSRI_UK/status/1725468225264329118 [Source]
• 17 Nov 2023 Today I hosted a Mini COP28 event for primary school children. We discussed the importance of tackling the climate crisis and what can be done locally, nationally, and internationally - just as it will be done at COP28 soon. Thank you to all participants! ♻️ ???? ???? https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1725534836608127268/photo/1 [Source]
• 16 Nov 2023 I wasn't able to attend the @EnvironmentAPPG reception last night but there are important points raised in the report for what must be done at COP28. Well done to @shaziaarshad from Islamic Relief and COP28 Youth Delegate Arianna for talking about these important issues. ???????? https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1725154715166462409 [Source]
• 29 Oct 2023 I was delighted to join the @ClimateAPPG reception this week to urge the UK government appoint a Climate Envoy ahead of COP28 and restore UK's status as a climate leader. Labour sees net zero and climate targets as an opportunity not an obligation.???? https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1718561317827514791/photo/1 [Source]
• 24 Oct 2023 Delighted to join @LGAcomms this afternoon to show my support for backing local climate action. The Government should provide councils across the country the policy guidance and long term financial support to have ambitious climate goals for our people and our planet. ???? https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1716817988178112531/photo/1 [Source]
• 23 Oct 2023 Over recess, I visited Sindh with @IslamicReliefUK to see the work they have been doing to help local communities affected by flooding. I'm very proud of the work local residents have done to rebuild their communities in the face of the climate crisis ???? https://www.afzalkhan.org.uk/news/2023/10/19/visit-to-flood-affected-communities-in-sindh-with-islamic-relief/ [Source]
• 09 Oct 2023 After a number of other meetings and receptions, it was lovely to bump into @AngelaRayner and @MunaTasneem at the Labour Friends of Bangladesh reception. With Bangladesh being vulnerable to climate change, it's key we support them in pushing for loss & damage payments. https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1711388846120730786/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Sep 2023 I am extremely disappointed by Rishi Sunak's newest announcement of delaying net-zero plans. We must achieve net zero as swiftly as possible for the health of the planet and the people on it.

• 07 Sep 2023 We're seeing more and more climate catastrophes but not enough governments taking meaningful action. Ahead of COP28, the Tories must seriously commit to climate financing for loss and damage to support vulnerable countries with the impacts of climate change. https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1699718454847111595/video/1 [Source]
• 25 Aug 2023 It was great to meet with @LindaFLabour this week to discuss the climate crisis and what we can do as a city, region, and country to reverse the impact of the climate crisis. If we all work together, we can make a huge change for the planet and for us all. ♻️ https://twitter.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1695128409314033674/photo/1 [Source]

• 11 Aug 2023 Pakistan is still struggling to recover from last year's floods. Loss & damage payment was agreed at COP27, but we must now ensure there is follow through to protect the most climate vulnerable countries, like Pakistan, from such long-term devastation. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/aug/05/a-year-on-the-devastating-long-term-effects-of-pakistans-floods-are-revealed [Source]

• 27 Oct 2022 I enjoyed learning more about net zero buildings yesterday at the @bmf_merchants reception. Decarbonising homes and other buildings would reduce UK emissions by 25%. Great for the planet, green jobs for communities, and lower energy bills for consumers. ????♻️???? https://x.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1585660086202007552/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 Oct 2022 This Government fails to be clear on virtually every single policy. They say they support Net Zero, yet Rees-Mogg and the Prime Minister can't agree. Labour is clear - affordable, clean, homegrown power which benefits the consumer and the planet. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/13/liz-truss-on-collision-course-with-jacob-rees-mogg-over-solar-power-ban [Source]

• 06 Sep 2022 The flooding in Pakistan has plunged the country into a humanitarian & climate emergency, leaving a 1/3 of the country underwater & an estimated $10 billion worth of damage. Yet this Gvt has cut aid to Pakistan by 75%. I urged the FCDO to provide urgent assistance to Pakistan???? https://x.com/Afzal4Gorton/status/1567114896487202816/video/1 [Source]

• 19 Jul 2022 The Tories are unfit for office. Cost of living crisis- they have no answers. Climate change- they have no answers. Backlog Britain- they have no answers. Islamophobia- they have no answers. Britain deserves a fresh start, with a Labour Goverment. https://twitter.com/AngelaRayner/status/1549404121849028609 [Source]
