• 23 Mar 2023 5/ This Bill would help address that, whilst also decarbonising millions of buildings and to take a huge step towards our net zero goals. I therefore call on MPs from all sides to come together and support this urgently needed legislation tomorrow. [Source]
• 04 Nov 2022 The Government must not step back on any of it's net zero commitments, in fact it must go further. The @LibDems are pushing for a 2045 target, not the current goal of 2050 to protect our planet and encourage much needed urgent action on climate change. https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1588605246607089666/video/1 [Source]

• 08 Aug 2022 We are facing a cost of living crisis not seen for decades, war in Ukraine, and a climate emergency. Yet Rishi Sunak is so out of touch, this is what he is proposing. People need immediate action to put money back in their pockets, not more endless posturing and rhetoric. https://twitter.com/RishiSunak/status/1556590394170818560 [Source]
• 27 Jun 2022 Pleased to contribute to this video on #NetZeroDay. We must continue to be ambitious with our climate objectives and press forward to protect our planet. https://twitter.com/EnvironmentAPPG/status/1541454730077020160 [Source]
• 01 Feb 2022 For London to make a sustainable recovery from the pandemic & make good on its Net Zero obligations, we need to explore alternative means of transport. The e-scooter trial enables us to do just that, so I’m pleased to see so many Londoners take part. https://www.cityam.com/londers-crazy-e-scooters-tfl-trial-exceeds-half-million-trips/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter [Source]
• 01 Feb 2022 How can London achieve its Net Zero targets if TfL is forced to cut £473m from a scheme designed to encourage cycling and walking? The government needs to stop playing party politics and work with City Hall on a long-term funding settlement ASAP. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/transport-for-london-funding-crisis-tube-drivers-charge-clean-air-sadiq-khan-tfl-b979961.html [Source]
• 01 Dec 2021 With our economic recovery in the balance & urgent Net Zero obligations to honour, it's imperative that London has a robust transport system???????? I therefore urge @transportgovuk to be bold and ambitious ahead of the next @TfL funding settlement ???? [Source]
• 01 Dec 2021 The Green Homes Grant Scheme could've been key in helping to decarbonise heating, but our latest @CommonsPAC report found that it underperformed badly ???? The Scheme's failure has also likely damaged consumer & industry confidence in the Government's ability to achieve Net Zero. https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1466000377778688006/video/1 [Source]

• 03 Nov 2021 Billions of pounds of the world’s fossil fuel money flows through the City of London. Without a mandatory #NetZero provision, the Chancellor's plans will lack the teeth to make any meaningful change. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59136214 [Source]
• 02 Nov 2021 RT @EdwardJDavey: The Prime Minister can spin it however he likes, but if the West do not get China on board, COP26 is a failure. [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021 The @OBR_UK estimates that reducing Air Passenger Duty will lead to a 91m kg increase in CO2 emissions, equal to an extra 2.3m train journeys. The govt should instead be investing in the aviation sector to help make all domestic flights zero-carbon ✈️???? https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/air-passenger-duty-cut-in-budget-will-create-the-same-co2-emissions-as-2-3m-extra-train-journeys-1277336 [Source]
• 27 Oct 2021 Just days before the UK hosts COP26, this is a laughable announcement that makes a complete mockery of our commitment to reducing aviation carbon emissions. #Budget21 #COP26 https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/budget-flight-tax-cut-cop26-b1946258.html [Source]

• 21 Sep 2021 The UK must therefore be bold in its vision and lead the way in terms of transport technology. Decarbonised aviation is one tool that can be at the forefront of delivering the green jobs that will be essential in delivering a sustainable economy. https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1440330727002763280/video/1 [Source]
• 21 Sep 2021 I was pleased to take part in @PutneyFleur Westminster Hall debate on decarbonising aviation ✈️ The Prime Minister must amend the Airport National Policy Statement & rule out #HeathrowExpansion if he is serious about both his #JetZero strategy and getting to #NetZero https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1440328820037283841/video/1 [Source]

• 20 Sep 2021 With #COP26 just around the corner, I’m thrilled to join hundreds of thousands of others for the #GreatBigGreenWeek, the UK’s biggest ever event on nature and climate. Find out what’s happening near you: http://greatbiggreenweek.com/find-an-event [Source]
• 16 Sep 2021 The People vs Climate Change is a new documentary which puts the public at the centre of the climate debate to help change the way people think about climate solutions and ultimately encourage the behaviour changes required to get to #NetZero ???? https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p097sbzc/the-people-vs-climate-change https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1438430687816790027/photo/1 [Source]
• 15 Sep 2021 Fantastic to attend the launch of the @GreenAllianceUK #NetZero report ???? The Government talks a big game when it comes to climate change????️, this must now translate into action and, crucially, measurable results over the next decade ???? #CutCarbonNow https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1438066376778866689/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 Sep 2021 As the host of #COP26, the UK has a duty to ensure all countries are meeting their climate change commitments. The fact that new trade deal between the UK and Australia will not have strong commitments about cutting emissions is shocking ???? https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/1435864357787820032 [Source]

• 26 Aug 2021 In the run up to #COP26, this Government has been found wanting ????‍♀️ We are far beyond the point of empty words. It's time for effective & meaningful action if we're to take seriously our environmental obligations???? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/aug/26/lib-dems-propose-ban-on-new-listings-of-fossil-fuel-companies-on-lse-london-climate-change [Source]
• 13 Aug 2021 As hosts of @COP26, our Government has a fantastic opportunity to make clear its Net Zero ambition. Yet it's becoming increasingly clear that for too many in the cabinet, paying mere lip service to our environmental obligations will suffice. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/13/treasury-blocking-green-policies-key-to-uk-net-zero-target [Source]
• 10 Aug 2021 The PM may refer to the #IPCCReport as a "wake-up call", but in reality his actions on #climatechange rarely match up to his rhetoric ???? If he really wants the UK to take a leading role, he can start by unequivocally committing his opposition to a third runway at Heathrow ✈️???? [Source]
• 12 Jul 2021 If we are to reach our net zero target, the Government ought to explore ways of using its corporation tax super deduction as a way of incentivising businesses to reduce their carbon emissions???? Grateful for the opportunity to Vice-Chair this important inquiry, published today ???? https://twitter.com/TheAPMG/status/1414524534833745923 [Source]
• 27 May 2021 That the UK has the @COP26 Presidency at a time when we are negotiating with Australia a Free Trade Agreement that could significantly undermine our environmental standards is a point of embarrassment, not a source of comfort. #AustraliaTradeDeal https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1397938737519206413/video/1 [Source]
• 17 May 2021 In the face of a climate emergency, this is unacceptable. The Government must address our over-reliance on single-use plastics, and one way it can begin is by removing VAT on reusable period pants♻️ Sign our petition if you agree: https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/578081 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57139474 [Source]
• 13 May 2021 The future of rail has the potential to boost growth & connectivity AND help us achieve our Net Zero targets. That's why I'm supporting the @railindustry campaign #RailDecarb2021, which is calling on the Government to commit to the decarbonisation of the rail sector ???? https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1392804314230493187/photo/1 [Source]

• 18 Mar 2021 Once again the Conservatives are failing to tackle the climate emergency and cut toxic air pollution⛽️ By slashing grant to electric vehicles, they're making it less likely that people will make the cleaner, greener choice???? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/18/uk-slashes-grants-for-electric-car-buyers-while-increasing-petrol-vehicle-support [Source]

• 15 Dec 2020 In today's #PlanningDebate I stressed that the Planning White Paper is a missed opportunity to embed a net zero carbon ambition into our planning policy. Only through the constraints applied through the planning system can we hope to see net zero carbon homes built. https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1338911783499784195/video/1 [Source]
• 15 Dec 2020 The @LibDems and I will keep campaigning to make sure the climate crisis is not forgotten as the Conservatives push ahead with these half-baked, thoughtless plans to destroy our planning process. #PlanningDebate (5/5) [Source]
• 15 Dec 2020 ???? Protecting communities’ voices in the planning process ???? Decarbonising all of our housing ???? Conserving and supporting our local biodiversity against environmental damage (2/5) [Source]
• 10 Dec 2020 Proud to be supporting @SheClimate's call for more women at the top level of the COP26 team as the climate crisis continues to affect women across the world. The Lib Dems will keep fighting for gender equality in our fight against climate change #SheChangesClimate https://x.com/sarahjolney1/status/1336980465413140480/photo/1 [Source]
