  #COP29, let’s remember: climate action isn’t just about cutting emissions-it’s about supporting communities on the frontlines. Climate finance should prioritise helping vulnerable regions adapt, not just meet targets. Real leadership tackles the human impact, not just the carbon [Source]

• 26 Jul 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Moving on to today’s debate, it is encouraging to hear support from many Members for ramping up renewable energy. Our constituents, the business community and the UK’s international allies are carefully watching this new Government and Parliament to see if we are serious about once again making the UK a leader in the transition to a clean, safe and inclusive low-carbon economy. I hope we will work together in a constructive spirit to show that we are indeed serious and that fine words will be matched by bold action.

  Locally, we have seen the benefits of community energy and heat networks. We must ensure that communities that are taking on renewable energy facilities, such as for solar power, can directly benefit. That should include community ownership of smaller-scale schemes. It is not just about energy generation; it is about transmission. Other hon. Members have mentioned delays in renewable energy schemes getting off the ground because of connectivity issues to the grid.

  Tackling climate change “can always be done mañana, mañana, as far as the Conservatives are concerned. No it can’t, it has to be done now.” #ClimateEmergency Me speaking on the Council Budget at the @LewesDC Full Council meeting???? https://twitter.com/JamesMacCleary/status/1628797126145605632/video/1 [Source]

  This is entirely the wrong thing to be doing at this, or any other, time. The Conservatives keep saying they want to tackle climate change but their actions indicate the exact opposite. They oppose solar and wind farms and support new coal mines. https://twitter.com/LibDems/status/1600563772074381312 [Source]

  Fracking is not something that should even be getting discussed. It is the exact opposite of what we need to be doing to address the climate emergency and our energy future. I won't be the only constituent watching closely how @mariacaulfield votes later. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/19/fracking-vote-labour-liz-truss-vote-of-confidence [Source]

  The Conservatives' obsession with #fracking despite no evidence that it will bring down #energybills is deeply alarming. We are in the middle of a #ClimateEmergency, and instead of investing in renewable energy, Conservatives are seeking to pump more carbon into the atmosphere. https://twitter.com/Lewes_Lib_Dems/status/1579856864560713729 [Source]

  NASA’s climate spiral is terrifying. The #ToryLeadershipContest hopefuls must commit to the manifesto pledges on which they were elected in 2019; to #NetZero and the policies needed to achieve it. #ClimateEmergency https://twitter.com/BestForBritain/status/1549009663378788355/video/1 [Source]

  The government’s #EnergyStrategy mostly overlooks wind (cheap) in favour of nuclear (expensive) and more oil and gas. To hit #NetZero we need to transition to renewable energy and move away from fossil fuels, as I talked about on #politicssoutheast last month. https://twitter.com/JamesMacCleary/status/1512065461382352906/video/1 [Source]

  Half a million of taxpayer pounds to avoid the agony of first class on a scheduled flight! Better still it resulted in the appalling trade deal with Australia. An indefensible indulgence and waste of taxpayers money, not to mention a total disregard for the climate emergency. https://twitter.com/PickardJE/status/1486678343911194630 [Source]

  The Green Investment Bank was a key @LibDems priority in govt. Serious, pragmatic action to take on the climate emergency which was rolled back by the Tories as soon as they could get away with it. https://twitter.com/PickardJE/status/1477577312279437312 [Source]

  Sorry, what?!?! Not enough time for scrutiny? They passed an entire trade deal with the EU through parliament in one day. This is absolute nonsense. Just shows that the govt has no real commitment to combatting climate change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55799191 [Source]

  Hinkley nuclear plant will be most expensive object on earth. Tell the government we want renewable energy instead http://bit.ly/1Tj50M0 [Source]

  This bad news for Britain. We should be investing in renewable energy - not blasting for more fossil fuels. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/north-yorkshire-fracking-vote-council-approves-fracking-in-ryedale-a7044086.html [Source]

  Motion at Lewes Town Council on action over climate change unanimously supported. Great example of the council setting a positive example. [Source]
