• 26 Jan 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  I am hugely honoured to be the Prime Minister’s special envoy for girls’ education. My role is to globally champion his message that providing 12 years of quality education for every single girl on the planet is one of the best ways of tackling many of the major issues facing the world today, such as poverty, climate change and inequality. Investing in girls’ education is an absolute game changer: if we want to change the world for the better, girls’ education is a great place to start. The child of a mother who can read is 50% more likely to live beyond the age of five, twice as likely to attend school themselves, and 50% more likely to be immunised. Girls who are educated are more able to choose if and when to have children, and how many children they have.

  At the global education summit in London, also in 2021, we raised a landmark $4 billion for global education with our international partners, which will help another 175 million children to learn. At COP26 in Glasgow that year, we made the important connection between girls’ education and climate change, showing how girls’ education can be very much part of the solution. That is because girls who are educated are much more able to participate in decisions, actions and leadership in relation to climate resilience, adaptation and mitigation.

• 17 Jan 2023: Parliamentary Speech

  My office has convened a multi-agency meeting with the chief executive of South East Water, Mr David Hinton, on 7 February. Clearly, there are serious questions to be answered and lessons to be learned. We also need to know what its plan of action is, going forward, to avoid a repetition. I want to hear from our Minister today about the availability of compensation for those who suffered financial loss, and I also want to know how we can build a much more resilient water system to deal with the effects of climate change now and in future.

  Great discussion with @UNICEF youth activists from #India and #Nepal at #COP26. Climate change causes extreme weather in #SouthAsia, which can ruin livelihoods & take lives. Today is all about listening to young people from these countries and coming together to make a change. https://x.com/HelenGrantMP/status/1456674737740976132/photo/1 [Source]

  Climate change is already affecting education in #Malawi. I heard examples from Minister Nyalonje and discussed her mitigation & adaptation plans. Education remains a priority for the UK in Malawi, where our £36m programme improves quality and keeps girls in school. #COP26 https://x.com/HelenGrantMP/status/1456595895122862080/photo/1 [Source]

  1⃣ Last month, I spoke to Priyanka from Trinidad & Tobago. She did her own research into climate change at age 11 following Hurricanes Irma & Maria, which devastated nearby countries. Climate change was not taught at school. Climate education = climate action. We must act now. https://x.com/HelenGrantMP/status/1455253043797180426/photo/1 [Source]

  Nepal is the 4th most vulnerable country in the world ???? to climate change. On my way to Surkhet this morning, I saw the glaciers below Himalayan peak Manaslu - these glaciers are retreating 60m each year with devastating flooding. #ClimateAction @COP26 https://x.com/HelenGrantMP/status/1444945799364886529/photo/1 [Source]

  Pleased to see the focus on climate action at #UNGA. Climate change is affecting girls' education globally ???? I often think of @Cynthia_Oprah's comments about crocodiles in classrooms in some parts of Kenya, and droughts in others - stopping girls learning. This must change. https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1439706594888007683 [Source]

  Climate change & girls’ education should not be seen as separate issues.   As this @MalalaFund report shows, ensuring 12 years of quality education for all girls is a powerful way to tackle the climate emergency. We need to get girls into school, help them stay there & learn https://twitter.com/MalalaFund/status/1367610808578928640 [Source]

  #ClimateChange is a major threat to global progress on education, with girls disproportionately impacted.

  This month the UK will use our @UN Security Council presidency to focus on #COVID19 & #ClimateChange. Girls’ education is key to these as it improves understanding of the issues. That’s why we are driving global efforts to get 40m more girls in school by 2025. [Source]
