We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Florence Eshalomi

• 17 Jul 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Over the last couple of years, I have seen at first hand the impact of the cost of living crisis on my constituents in Vauxhall and Camberwell Green and on communities right across the country. We also know that tackling climate change is one of the most urgent issues facing the world, and that we cannot delay meaningful action any longer. I am therefore very pleased that the Government are committed to addressing both issues with an investment in the clean energy transition that will lower energy bills for households and restore the UK’s reputation as a climate leader.

  Great to attend the @ClimateAPPG parliamentary reception. This is a key issue for many #Vauxhall constituents and we need to restore the UK’s leadership on our commitments to net zero targets. https://twitter.com/FloEshalomi/status/1716845843167269176/photo/1 [Source]

• 8 Jun 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  British Transport Police highlighted that instances of sexual harassment and sexual offences on public transport have soared by a shocking 175% between 2019 and 2020. We need our women and girls to feel safe to use public transport, and to use it so that we can tackle the climate emergency. Labour is committed to halving violence against women and girls. When will the Government match that commitment and make sure that our women and girls feel safe to use public transport?

  Public transport is a vital part of tackling the climate emergency. But there has been a shocking rise in sexual violence against women and girls according to the British Transport Police. Government must do more to make public transport safe for everyone to use ???????? https://twitter.com/FloEshalomi/status/1666785615818440706/video/1 [Source]

• 25 Jan 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  The hon. Member for Aberdeen North (Kirsty Blackman) highlighted the glaring omission that we are seeing from this Government. Climate change must be front and centre of everything that we do. Yesterday, my hon. Friend the Member for Hemsworth and I had the honour of meeting some fantastic young people who had come to see my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham East (Nadia Whittome) about the Climate Education Bill. It is so important that we teach our young people, who are so passionate about the climate emergency, yet we are seeing an omission here.

  Solving the climate emergency requires local, national and global leadership. My #Vauxhall constituents are doing their bit, and @lambeth_council are leading the way on local policies to help. But the PM must do more to show that Britain is a climate leader ???????????? https://twitter.com/FloEshalomi/status/1590349534936592384/video/1 [Source]

  Today is #CleanAirDay - improvements to air quality is vital and we all have a role to play. This needs to be matched with ambitious targets and funding from Government.

  Really great to receive letters from the pupils at St Anne’s Primary school in #Vauxhall .

  Following the event I raised the need for Parliament to be given the time it needs to debate climate & ensure that the momentum that was built in the run up to COP26 is not lost. #ClimateActionNow ???? https://twitter.com/FloEshalomi/status/1497190648822308867/video/1 [Source]

  Brilliant to be at St Anselm's Church in Kennington earlier this week discussing all things climate emergency. Vauxhall residents are rightly worried about inaction on this & we must go further and faster to protect our planet for future generations. https://twitter.com/FloEshalomi/status/1497190585299574795/photo/1 [Source]

  Subsidy Control Bill — Schedule 1 - The subsidy control principles - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 9 Dec 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  My constituency of Vauxhall, just across the bridge here, contains some of the busiest and most polluted roads in the country. That has a massive and devastating impact on our fight to tackle the climate emergency, but also on the immediate health of my constituents. Air pollution has been linked to a litany of health problems, such as asthma and heart disease. Just last year, air pollution was ruled to be the tragic factor in the death of nine-year-old Ella Kissi-Debrah. She tragically lost her life after two years of severe asthma attacks.

  We know that switching to an electric vehicle is not the panacea for transport’s contribution to the climate emergency or pollution. Like me, many of my constituents in Vauxhall make journeys by foot, active travel, bus and local transport. We are blessed to live in an inner-London constituency where we have eight tube stations and fantastic bus networks. Transport provision is not the same for many constituents up and down the country in rural areas. If we are to see them using public transport and not relying on petrol cars, we need to ensure that our public transport is properly funded.

• 21 Oct 2021: Parliamentary Speech

  Overall, Hurricane Maria cost the lives of 3,000 people and the economies affected nearly £70 billion. In just three weeks, that one storm cost the world the same amount as our furlough scheme in the UK. The failure by Governments to tackle this climate catastrophe is making and will continue to make hurricanes much stronger and impactful. Maria was far from unique. We saw many other hurricanes. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma wrecked the US south coast and the Caribbean.

  There is an obvious and moral case for tackling this climate catastrophe, but perhaps what appals me the most is the lack of urgency in tackling it. I am afraid that that lack of urgency is also being shown by our Government here. We are placing a huge burden on the lives of our children and future generations. There will be more hurricanes, more rising sea levels, more frequent flooding and more droughts if we do not take action now. This will come and it will come fast.

  That future does not have to be inevitable. We have to take a long look at what we are doing. We need to act today to move to a truly green and sustainable planet. Let us see an end to the peppercorn sprinkling by our Government that barely scratches the surface of what is happening. Let us commit to properly fund a new deal and make sure that we are ambitious in tackling this climate change head-on.

  Six years ago in 2015, we were the first G7 nation to enshrine in law our commitment to the UN’s target of 0.7% of gross national income on overseas aid. As we prepare to host the G7 summit at the end of this week, the UK is breaking its promise, while other G7 countries such as France and the USA are maintaining or increasing their aid commitments. This is not the global Britain we want the world to see. The aid budget should be used to tackle the global challenges facing us all: the pandemic, the climate crisis and rising poverty and inequality.
