  My thoughts are with John Prescott’s loved ones this morning - he made a huge impact on British politics, and on global climate action (one of the lead architects of Kyoto protocol), thanks to his combination of principles and down to earth straight talking. May he rest in peace [Source]

  Affordable, accessible, reliable public transport is good for our communities, economy and environment. Every £1 invested in buses brings economic growth of £4.50. So even if the Chancellor doesn't care about climate change, investing in public transport is a no-brainer. [Source]

  10. What steps he is taking to ensure a just transition for workers in high-carbon sectors. ( 900546 )

  Full debate: Oral Answers to Questions

  I thank the Minister for her response. Unfortunately, the unjust transitions we are seeing in Grangemouth and Port Talbot are a damning indictment of the lack of a proactive approach to a just transition over the last few years. Tomorrow at the Treasury, over 50 major unions and climate groups will be calling for a new approach to the energy transition where, instead of just de-risking private profit, there is a governmental ringfenced funding package for North sea oil and gas workers, including help with skills and job creation. Will the Secretary of State or Ministers please meet the Chancellor of the Exchequer to ensure that those ringfenced funds are secure, so that we can stop betting on the industry to do the right thing?

• 10 Sep 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  At the end of a year of record-shattering temperatures and climate extremes, COP29 will prove a test of our collective willingness to respond to the climate crisis with the urgency and resolve it demands. We know that there is no room for new fossil fuel infrastructure if we are to have any chance of staying within safe climate limits. That is a scientific fact—one that the International Energy Agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and countless experts have made clear.

  Historic progress was made at COP28, when the UK joined nearly 200 countries in agreeing to transition away from fossil fuels, marking a major breakthrough for international climate action. One year on, COP29 has the vital task of locking in momentum towards that promise. Yet despite the science and the consensus reached in Dubai, Governments around the world plan to produce 110% more fossil fuels in 2030 than is consistent with just a 50% chance of limiting warming to the Paris agreement goal of 1.5°.

  About half of all planned oil and gas developments between now and 2050 will be sanctioned by five wealthy Governments who position themselves as climate leaders, one of which is the UK. With the COP29 summit being hosted in a country with plans to increase its fossil fuel production by a third over the next decade, there is an urgent need for other big polluters, such as the UK, to show better leadership. Unless the promise made in Dubai is seen as a clear instruction to quit fossil fuels, last year’s hard-won consensus is destined to fall apart. Rhetoric must be met with action.

  Aside from being a climate crime, the new field would go against what is needed to strengthen the UK’s energy security—lower bills and a just transition. I welcome the Government doing the sensible thing and deciding not to defend in court the previous Government’s approval of new oil drilling at Rosebank, which makes it even more likely that the legal challenge against the field will be successful. If Equinor then seeks approval for the field again, the Government will have the opportunity to make a fresh start and a fresh decision on Rosebank. If presented with that opportunity, will the Government make the right choice, reject the field and mark the end of the road for climate-wrecking oil and gas projects in UK waters? Only then can we begin to rebuild our credibility on the global stage and reasonably look other countries in the eye at the negotiating table as we ask them to keep their own oil and gas reserves in the ground.

  As a country with broad shoulders and historic responsibility for accelerating climate chaos, the UK not only has a duty to deliver the transition away from fossil fuels here at home, but must play a leading role in supporting those countries that are least responsible for, but worst impacted by, climate breakdown. Baku’s big test, therefore, will be the delivery of the new collective quantified goal on climate finance. This is a crucial opportunity for richer countries to contribute their fair share, following years of broken promises and failure to deliver the $100 billion on time.

  At this COP, we must ensure that past mistakes are not repeated. That means agreeing a new goal that is not just a political deal but a real number, based on the needs of people in the global south and of vulnerable populations on the frontline of climate impacts. A black-box headline figure without clarity on how it will be delivered will not do. We must ensure that the goal results in funds that are genuinely new and additional, not double-counted from existing aid budgets—a reprehensible practice that has played a huge role in allowing the climate finance gap to widen over the past decade. Indeed, in February, the Independent Commission for Aid Impact found that under the previous Government the Foreign Office reclassified around £1.7 billion of existing UK aid as international climate finance. The UK has one of the largest gaps between its fair share and the climate finance it has delivered. We are letting the world down—it is right there in black and white—so will the Government ensure that UK negotiators show up to COP29 with a mandate to champion an ambitious new climate finance goal, and will they unlock the necessary public finance in addition to private finance?

  There is much more the UK could be doing, from tackling tax abuse and evasion by the extremely wealthy and corporations, removing subsidies for fossil fuels and looking at undertaxed sectors such as aviation, where the “polluter pays” principle is simply not being upheld. Justice requires that the nations most responsible for the climate crisis step up. That is our cue.

• 18 Jul 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Finally, it is a reputation that has been seriously eroded in relation to climate action. As a councillor I was responsible for proposing the UK’s first climate emergency motion in autumn 2018—another first for Bristol. I know what the climate science requires that we get done in the lifetime of this Parliament, as this critical decade for the climate marches on. The brighter future we all want for our constituents and our country demands that we urgently secure a liveable future. Our warming planet has just passed another milestone. For the first time, global temperatures were above the crucial 1.5°C limit for an entire year. I hope this House will agree that that is one first that we all have a responsibility to try to ensure is also a last.

  The last Government sought to break the climate consensus, to weaponise culture wars and to spread lies and misinformation about what a net zero future will be like. This Government must reverse the damage and have the courage to show genuine climate leadership at this critical time in our planet’s history. I will stand with the Government if they do that, but I will not be afraid to speak up where I think they might need to go a little faster. We have heard in the King’s Speech a commitment to a cleaner energy transition and public ownership of public transport, and I hope more will be forthcoming across the weeks and months ahead of us.

  For the last year @TheGreenParty has been calling for a Dirty Profits Tax, which would have raised billions and served as the first step towards a proper Carbon Tax. Shell's record profits now make the case for a #CarbonTax undeniable Me in @Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/shell-profits-energy-prices-gas-b2274211.html [Source]

  To make matters worse, 20 other airports are planning #AirportExpansion and watched this case closely. It could open the floodgates to a huge increase in CO2 emissions @baancc will try to take this to the Court of Appeal. With all my heart I hope they win https://www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/bristol-airport-expansion-given-green-light-by-high-court/ [Source]

  Bristol Airport expansion allowed by the High Court. This is a devastating outcome. It tramples on local democracy and would mean 1000s of extra flights producing a million tonnes of CO2 equivalents every year. @baancc are going to try to take it to the Court of Appeal. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1620392843960545281/photo/1 [Source]

  As Government prepares to announce changes (cuts?) to the #EnergyBillReliefScheme for businesses, @TheGreenParty has a different idea: ????Repackage the scheme to incentivise businesses to switch to renewable energy ???? and install insulation????‍????

  This is a very important step in #Bristol’s decarbonisation, I’m really pleased to see it happen. City Leap will lead to hundreds of £ms of investment, potentially £1billion. However estimates show we’ll need 10x that to meet carbon neutrality... ???? https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-city-leap-deal-signed-7906052#amp-readmore-target [Source]

  A thrill to meet @lukejerram today and see his new #OilFountain artwork. It's a disconcerting metaphor for how society, once built around water, is now arguably built around oil.

  In fact, UK land use needs to change a lot if we are to reduce our carbon emissions to #NetZero. This graph from @centre_alt_tech's #ZeroCarbonBritain report shows the land for feeding livestock goes down, land for carbon capture, energy and food for human consumption goes up. https://twitter.com/carla_denyer/status/1579828715319885827/photo/1 [Source]

  To bring bills and emissions down for good, Govt support for businesses MUST be smarter and more targeted than just a blanket cap on wholesale energy costs. More than 100 UK businesses have called on Govt to prioritise energy efficiency, renewables, & industrial decarbonisation. https://twitter.com/BusinessGreen/status/1572451628128542722 [Source]

  @PhilipHammondUK Govt plans for more North Sea oil & gas and fracking undermine both our climate targets and the UK economy. A rapid transition away from fossil fuels is the best way to tackle soaring energy bills and help the economy. Renewables, not fossils, promise a brighter future. [Source]

  In 2019 @PhilipHammondUK, then chancellor, claimed going net zero by 2050 would cost the UK more than £1 trillion, hinting the country couldn’t afford this. This study shows the opposite: Switching to renewables could SAVE the world £10.2 trillion by 2050 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-62892013 [Source]

  What the country's top climate scientists are saying is the same as what @TheGreenParty is saying: The solutions to the energy price crisis and the climate crisis are THE SAME SOLUTIONS.

  Liz #Truss being selected as Prime Minister by such a small and unrepresentative group of people is a disaster for the UK, and the climate. Her plans to encourage more North Sea oil & gas does nothing to help households this winter. But it will absolutely fuel the climate crisis [Source]

  The candidates seem to be competing on who can propose the stupidest and most dangerous climate policies. With heatwaves, floods, crop failures and environmental refugees, it's just not possible to turn our back on the climate crisis.

  The best way of bringing down the #CostOfLiving and tackling the #ClimateCrisis is to invest in insulating homes, massively ramping up renewable energy, while providing people with the immediate financial support they need now. #Fracking is an expensive and dangerous distraction. [Source]

  @GWPF_org @DeSmogUK It's clear that the climate and environment are simply not safe in Conservative hands. This is why we need an election, so the public (who - polling shows - have a stronger appetite for bold climate policies than Tory *or* Labour MPs) can vote for #ClimateEmergency action! [Source]

  Sunak's #WindfallTax is missing a trick, it incentivises further O&G investment & fails to incentivise renewables that can both reduce bills and tackle the climate crisis. It is another missed opportunity to shape a clean green economy for the future. We need a #DirtyProfitsTax [Source]

  There's no such thing as a ‘climate change pass’ - unfortunately climate change doesn’t wait for politics. If the PM was serious about reducing reliance on Russian gas he'd start a massive investment in renewables, energy efficiency, etc. More from me: https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2022/03/07/climate-sceptic-mps-are-helping-to-fuel-putin%E2%80%99s-war-machine,-greens-warn/ https://twitter.com/Steven_Swinford/status/1500755646328844288 [Source]
