• 25 Jul 2024 ‘Heylings said she now wanted to make the case in Parliament for importance of local govt in achieving this “conflict management”.

• 07 Jan 2024 Former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, @CSkidmoreUK MP, has quit in protest. The UK climate change committee @theCCCuk, has made it crystal clear that tomorrow's vote on new oil and gas licensing is "inconsistent with climate goals". MPs must vote this down. https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1744015578208125333/photo/1 [Source]
• 13 Dec 2023 Great to have the opportunity to give hot off the press report back from #COP28 as well as announce how we plan to keep our air clean locally with launch of @SouthCambs Air Quality Strategy, committing to WHO standards beyond national targets for damaging particulates https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1734900927444746471/photo/1 [Source]
• 02 Oct 2023 @ordinarykicker Yes. I've been part of Mission Zero with SCDC, County and LGA. We have to move forward with net zero. This is why local gov so important and why we've been fighting for greater local climate powers. Also why we need to change this govt as soon as possible. [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 Last week @BBCLookEast Our businesses need 3 things from UK govt: Ambition, Commitment & Consistency. A relaxation of 2030 climate pledges undermines all three. Conservatives have already trashed the economy of today. Now Rishi Sunak wants to trash the economy of the future too https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1704469845230674432/video/1 [Source]
• 20 Sep 2023 On the news that @RishiSunak is rowing back on climate pledges: a betrayal of business, science & industry & the Conserative manifesto. I call on local MP @AnthonyBrowneMP to say whether he supports this position. Residents are deeply concerned. #NoConfidence #GeneralElectionNow https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1704432525215515039/video/1 [Source]
• 28 Jun 2023 Most people I speak to in #SouthCambs are worried about climate change and the planet they are handing on to young people. The @theCCCuk couldn't be clearer. This Tory government is in reverse gear on meeting Net Zero goals. https://twitter.com/ChiefExecCCC/status/1673965243842568194 [Source]
• 05 Jun 2023 Conservative ministers have cut two-thirds of dedicated funding for walking and cycling despite climate report showing UK set to miss 2030 net zero target due to emissions from road transport. Support @TransportActio2 legal challenge to this decision: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-the-cuts-to-walking-and-cycling/ https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1665639193899327491/photo/1 [Source]
• 16 May 2023 Loved chairing this cracking event! As we transition to Net Zero, demand for electricity will increase hugely. How can we develop future energy systems that are fit for purpose? BybWe empowering local councils within energy system planning. Lots to do @LGAcomms @libdemlocalgov https://twitter.com/_Nick_Porter_/status/1658480406323417090 [Source]
• 27 Apr 2023 There is huge public support for climate action locally. What is lacking is clarity from central government about how to reach Net Zero within a national framework with clear role for local govt and a stop to short-term, competitive pots of funding. Key to accelerate transition https://twitter.com/EnergyUKcomms/status/1651501365686947842 [Source]
• 09 Feb 2023 First meeting of Ministerial #LocalNetZero Forum (cross-party) making case for unlocking transformative power of local councils & 'place-based' decarbonisation to meet UK climate goals. Promoting approach in Cambs. Met with Under Sec of State Dept of Energy Security & Net Zero https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1623765239039766535/video/1 [Source]
• 16 Nov 2022 @ACarpenDigital @CSkidmoreUK @LGAcomms @libdemlocalgov @stevemason2111 @CommonsLUHC Agreed. Can be win-win with climate & nature funding: empowered local councils with certainty in terms of policy (such as deadline for decarbonisation of heating in homes) and upfront public finance can unlock private investment at scale for insulation, energy, EV charging.. [Source]
• 16 Nov 2022 1/ Ahead of #COP27 launch Action Agenda for local govt & business leaders, I spoke with @CSkidmoreUK (Chair Net Zero Review) at @LGAcomms Net Zero Roundtable.

• 02 Nov 2022 At APPG on Community Energy. Enabling local supply is "no-brainer" & critical for UK climate targets. New #LocalElectricityBill seeks to overcome "single most important barrier": make it financially viable to sell local energy directly at local level at scale! @Power4PeopleUK https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1587861066268246017/photo/1 [Source]
• 30 Oct 2022 Voting for fracking didn't help international leadership on reaching net zero either @ab4scambs I wonder why you couldnt hold to your green credentials unlike fellow Conservative MP who just weeks before took over your role as Chair of All-Party Parliamentary Group on Environment https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1586650931214548993/photo/1 [Source]
• 30 Oct 2022 BOTH the PM @RishiSunak AND King Charles must go to global climate summit #COP27 Results of UK's COP26 were pledges. All are now required to show delivery AND raise ambition this year: that was the essence of Glasgow pact. PM not going undermines COP26 results @ab4scambs https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1586650919583862785/photo/1 [Source]
• 20 Oct 2022 Enough of an excuse? Sticking to very policy your govt signed in, part of 2019 manifesto & comes just a week after Rees-Mogg quietly drops appeal against High Court ruling that govt Net Zero strategy 'unlawful' because already fails to meet legally binding climate targets? https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1582994458379161602/photo/1 https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/1582979630163582976 [Source]
• 19 Oct 2022 I'm calling on Anthony Browne MP to vote against #Fracking tonight. Especially when, last week, this govt already admitted that its Net Zero Strategy is unlawful & fails to curb carbon emissions sufficiently in order to meet legally-binding climate targets. https://twitter.com/AnthonyBrowneMP/status/1511644853800742915 [Source]
• 24 Jul 2022 Climate change is a fact. Heatwaves having huge impact on people's lives. We're "woefully unprepared" said @theCCCuk: 90% of NHS buildings at risk of overheating. Local Council @SouthCambs on frontline helping residents adapt homes @chrismannbbc @BBCCambs https://vimeo.com/732914769 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2022 Heatwaves are an extreme & dangerous weather event; they're becoming more & more common. The effects of the climate emergency are becoming all-too real, faster than scientists predicted. Tory leadership contenders literally fiddling whilst UK burns.. Urgent action @GreenLibDems https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1549066315880894464/photo/1 [Source]

• 06 Apr 2022 This is disgraceful. Once again this is the govt of blah blah blah with no action. This not only consigns people to ever higher & unaffordable energy bills but also is a failure to meet binding net zero targets - the day after IPCC reports even less time to keep below 1.5 https://twitter.com/ChairGreenLDs/status/1511662002938302465 [Source]
• 23 Mar 2022 And time once again for our extremely popular #ZeroCarbonCommunities grant - because we can only reach our net zero targets TOGETHER! #netzeronow @GreenLibDems @libdemlocalgov https://twitter.com/SouthCambs/status/1506552476853493766 [Source]

• 08 Feb 2022 Look out, everyone. Fast-growing faction in Tory party determined to create another Brexit culture war in effort to shore up majority: swapping Brexit for Climate Change and Net Zero. Watch Sunak closely. Be visionary & speak to heart & rights to clean air & Nature @GreenLibDems [Source]

• 01 Oct 2021 I agree with much of this but it is missing arguably most important devolved powers: climate change! in setting policy & standards for net zero and for overcoming "woefully unprepared" state for dealing with climate chaos of flooding & heatwaves @libdemlocalgov @GreenLibDems https://twitter.com/CommonsLUHC/status/1443858605854400512 [Source]
• 01 Oct 2021 Decisions on where & how to design the new places where people will live based on first-ever study on carbon implications of where housing located. Proud that we are proposing higher net zero building standards than govt regulation! https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1443953928912125979/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Sep 2021 @sj_robinson Climate leadership by @sj_robinson I'm really happy that Lib Dem leaders like you have signed this letter which I drafted in my new role at @libdemlocalgov seeing urgent need to devolve climate powers to local councils. UK cannot meet net zero targets without local councils [Source]
• 19 Sep 2021 Banning new oil, gas and coal companies from the London Stock Exchange. Stopping the flow of money from your pension funds into the dirty industries of the past. As we host the global climate talks in Glasgow, we should stop London hosting the world’s fossil fuel investments. https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1439624455681155078/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Sep 2021 Thank you! It is critical that as COP 26 President, UK government announces that it is giving the necessary climate powers and funding to local authorities because @theCCCuk said that only through central and local govt working together can we meet our net zero ambitions. https://twitter.com/Fiona4Highlands/status/1439151645066158080 [Source]
• 14 Sep 2021 The UK has an ambitious climate target but delivery plans are missing. Ahead of @COP26, the UK must fast track policy & publish decarbonisation strategies, including the devolution of powers to local authorities to set zero carbon standards & provide much-needed finance @LGAcomms https://twitter.com/GreenAllianceUK/status/1437319974008336388 [Source]
• 11 Sep 2021 @MoleArchitects Not nothing but yes we definitely won't reach UK net zero targets without devolving powers and resources to local gov. [Source]

• 10 Sep 2021 A huge piece of work indeed and some of the highest levels of participation ever, too, as a result. It also lets everyone clearly trace the impact of the evidence commissioned on affordability, net zero, water, biodiversity and energy on the proposals being put forward. https://twitter.com/ACarpenDigital/status/1436060579362377729 [Source]
• 09 Aug 2021 Powerful cross-party collaboration with and across Councils. Local government can be transformative. Just what's needed to help stop climate breakdown and provide new skills and opportunities locally whilst improving preparedness for the impacts that are no longer avoidable. https://twitter.com/LGAcomms/status/1424649981001093126 [Source]
• 09 Aug 2021 @RonZimmernPHG Exactly @RonZimmernPHG True climate leadership is needed by our government as host of climate negotiations in order to raise ambition from all countries. That means leading by example and not approving new oil and gas projects. [Source]
• 09 Aug 2021 With just 83 days to go to the most important global climate negotiations, scientists publish their "devastating findings" showing that we have even less time than we thought to avoid climate breakdown.

• 30 Jun 2021 The Conservatives are all soundbites, no plan when it comes to addressing the climate crisis. Even the Government's own experts agree that not enough is being done to turn promises into action and meet net zero carbon targets. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/government-climate-progress-uk-ccc-b1871928.html https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1410311129226752003/photo/1 [Source]

• 19 May 2021 These Planning Reforms are a Developer's Charter that sweep away local voice on planning applications (both residents and local authorities) and will cause the collapse of social and affordable housing programmes - whilst failing to protect nature and meet climate targets! https://twitter.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1394983643496464385 [Source]

• 15 Dec 2020 Proud and relieved to see @sarahjolney1 secure a debate on the @Conservatives changes to the planning process.
