• 28 Nov 2024 Fantastic to see Scottish distilleries harnessing hydrogen's potential to produce whisky in a sustainable way. Through innovations like these we will decarbonise the UK's industries - showing what's possible when we invest in the clean energy transition. https://www.suntoryglobalspirits.com/news/suntory-global-spirits-marks-world-first-hydrogen-direct-fired-distillation-historic-casking [Source]
• 27 Nov 2024 'The UK was proudly back delivering climate leadership at #COP29. My thoughts in @PoliticsHome on why strong action on clean energy at home is so important when working with other countries to tackle climate change. https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/uk-leadership-decisive-decade-global-climate-action [Source]
• 21 Nov 2024 As noted here, JP was passionate about tackling climate change, before many appreciated the need for action. He continued to be so after he stepped down as Deputy PM, eg through Council of Europe @pace_news. A true legend. Also the instigator of Labour conference tweet-ups! https://twitter.com/keir_starmer/status/1859491124710084829 [Source]
• 20 Nov 2024 Proud that the UK will co-chair the Forest Climate Leaders Partnership with Guyana. Delivering on the 2030 goal to halt and reverse forest loss is vital for communities, climate and biodiversity. I look forward to working together to galvanise action on protecting forests. #COP29 https://x.com/KerryMP/status/1859290190658806191/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Nov 2024 We must move away from coal and towards clean power if we are to keep to 1.5C. The UK is leading the way. As co-chair of the global Powering Past Coal Alliance it was great to speak at #COP29 to reflect on progress we've made and to further raise ambition to phase out coal. https://x.com/KerryMP/status/1859288860859170858/photo/1 https://twitter.com/mgshanks/status/1857104593789829391 [Source]
• 20 Nov 2024 Another important discussion at #COP29 last week.

• 14 Nov 2024 A privilege to be at my first COP29 as the UK’s Climate Minister. Action is now more important than ever. Recent and tragic events in Spain have shown again that nothing is more central to the UK’s national interest than delivering global progress on tackling climate change. https://x.com/KerryMP/status/1856992112216096915/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 Nov 2024 Nature protection and tackling the climate crisis must be part of the same conversation ????

• 24 Sep 2024 Missing #LabourConference as I’m in New York for #UNGA2024 and #ClimateWeekNYC but great to see Liverpool chosen as the first @UN Accelerator City for climate change action.

• 26 Aug 2024 Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Scotland.

• 15 Aug 2024 I have been up in Scotland for the past few days, visiting amazing renewable energy and rewilding projects. More to follow tomorrow and will catch up on tweets, but for now I’ve just got home and am exhausted! https://twitter.com/KerryMP/status/1824169218037706842/photo/1 [Source]

• 01 May 2024 The most significant step on Bristol’s pathway to #netzero was not declaring a climate emergency, it was working out how to deliver on it. @MarvinJRees and @CheneyCraig deserve huge credit for @BristolCityLeap, a model which can be replicated across the U.K. and worldwide. 2/2 https://twitter.com/kerrymp/status/1785654944848060637 [Source]
• 01 May 2024 Good to speak on green investment at #InnovationZero this morning. Lots of interest in @BristolCityLeap model of leveraging in £££s in private sector finance for decarbonisation with the help of a state-owned entity like Vattenfall, or in future, under Labour, GB Energy. 1/2 [Source]

• 20 Sep 2023 We had Energy and Net Zero questions in the Commons yesterday (at which the Minister called me 'the enemy of net zero' for saying British businesses were crying out for clarity and certainty).

• 06 Sep 2023 Interesting to see which Tories voted against Energy Bill in the Commons last night. There were also Tories (Alok Sharma, Chris Skidmore) who, like Labour, wanted the Bill to go further on green energy transition, but these are the 'net zero sceptics'. https://votes.parliament.uk/votes/commons/division/1628#noes [Source]

• 13 Jun 2023 Breaking climate promise after climate promise, and allowing Britain to fall behind in the global race for green investment by failing to respond to Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. It’s time for change. A Labour Government is the only route to reaching our net zero targets. 3/3 https://twitter.com/KerryMP/status/1668590971896975360 [Source]

Caroline did a remarkable job taking him to task while not quite exploding in anger! [Source]
• 15 Dec 2022 As Labour's shadow Minister for Climate Change it's been great to work with @paul_mcnamee_ on getting @LCEF_UK off the ground. #Lab22's focus on 'a fairer greener future', put these issues at the forefrontof Labour policy.

Graham Stuart) attending Cabinet, which they both did under Liz Truss.

• 21 Jul 2022 The Govt will now have to present a revised Net Zero Strategy by next March. Let's hope they get the numbers right this time. But I am not getting my hopes up given the state of the Tory leadership contest and the scepticism of the candidates about Net Zero. [Source]
• 21 Jul 2022 Today I was granted an Urgent Question on the Govt's Net Zero Strategy being found to be unlawful. How embarrassing that Ministers have to be dragged to court to be told what we have all known for months: That they are failing on climate change. https://x.com/KerryMP/status/1550065804707782658/video/1 [Source]
• 20 Jul 2022 In the Commons today I challenged COP President Alok Sharma over the lack of progress towards #netzero as proved in court by @friends_earth this week. It's clear from the leadership contest that the Tories won't act on #climatechange with the urgency we need to see now. https://x.com/KerryMP/status/1549818591549202433/video/1 [Source]

• 26 Mar 2021 The Transport Decarbonisation Plan will be arriving at a station near you soon. Transport hugely important in getting us to net zero, so has to be as ambitious as possible - yet I don't see any signs that anyone is lobbying MPs on it. Campaign, anyone? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/creating-the-transport-decarbonisation-plan [Source]

• 26 Feb 2021 Quoted in this - Government needs to set out its road map to get to zero emissions - so far there’s simply no strategy, as the ⁦@NAOorguk⁩ says. https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4027726/uk-long-build-purely-electric-car-market-spending-watchdog-warns [Source]
• 04 Feb 2021 Tories/ Mogg once again claiming Margaret Thatcher to be a climate change visionary, because she once made a speech. What did she actually DO on emissions? (Other than wrecking mining and carbon-intensive industries, which was NOT due to any desire on her part to reach net zero!) [Source]
• 26 Jan 2021 @JonBeale10 @GretaThunberg I think we need to take swifter and stronger action, yes - COP26 is going to be crucial but we also have domestic things like Sixth Carbon Budget, and Environment Bill, and Labour calls for green recovery package. [Source]
