10 Sep 2024: Parliamentary Speech
Of course, it is not just about the economy: it is about animals and people as well. The great legend that is Sir David Attenborough tells us that right now our animals are dying out at 100 times the normal evolutionary rates of extinction. When it comes to people, I think about some of the research I have seen. When children who have experienced flooding go to sleep hearing rain outside, they no longer dream about the wonderful things that could happen to them the next day, and playing with their friends in the playground—they have nightmares. That means they cannot sleep and sometimes then cannot go to school the next morning. During those nightmares they think about how they could lose not just their possessions but their mum and others as well. That is the kind of impact that climate change and flooding can have on us as people.
I spoke as a keynote speaker at COP26 and at the World Water Congress in the lead-up to COP27. I talked about how we need to think about a future that is all about co-creation—working with communities, families and schools to think about the future. We need to think about how we turn the world’s greatest threat into the world’s biggest opportunity, because that is what it is, and we see rays of light in every area of the country right now. For example, in my constituency of Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, we have in Keadby the largest inland wind farm, owned by SSE, which I went to see the other day, and we have innovative carbon capture ideas. We also have youth parliaments and student councils, made up of passionate children who want to make a difference to our world, which is just amazing. We need to harness that passion. I even have residents writing to me who want me to come and work with them in places such as Westwoodside to try to solve some of their key flooding issues.
Now is absolutely the time to act; now is the time when we need to work with children and communities, because we need to create a sustainable future together. COP29 should not be called an opportunity: it is a must-do place to take action. It is a place where we can work together and co-create at a local, national and global level. We in this country can do that as leaders to facilitate a much better, cleaner and greener future for everybody.

It felt so positive to be at @COP26 in Glasgow. Since then, we’ve had named storms, wild fires, drought & 18 degree weather in Donny today in late October! Should our Prime Minster be at @COP27 with other world leaders to discuss the climate emergency & our future?#ClimateCrisis https://twitter.com/LeePitcher9/status/1586117175634694144/photo/1 [Source] -

With the two age category winners here for the #Waterline Student Sustainability Challenge. My smile says it all!

@nadhimzahawi We need to make building flood plans & teaching flood resilience a compulsory part of the curriculum. It’s just makes sense. Let’s make this happen for mental health, to inspire future STEM students, to create the space & platform for us to adapt to climate change. https://twitter.com/PhilWinterMMC/status/1451113105614848005 [Source] -

My heart is with all those impacted. It feels even more poignant that we are sat right now, with 50 people online, reviewing how we plan to build flood resilience in strategic areas of the UK like Hull & the East Riding for a 2050+ horizon, against the backdrop of climate change. https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/1415649478166593536 [Source] -

Well done @ITV for announcing your target to be net zero by 2030. You’re right - no one wants to see “This Warming”. @AlisonHammond’s smile lights up the tv and brings enough warmth through our screens and into our sitting rooms already. [Source] -

Climate change is not difficult to grasp. I think of the world as my own body. At 0.8C rise above my normal temp, I can feel warm/cold/shivery. Above that, I get a fever. Beyond that, it starts to become fatal. Imagine the world with a constant fever or worse? @LivingWithH2O https://twitter.com/LeePitcher9/status/1317440904643383297/photo/1 [Source] -
