30 Dec 2020 Layla Moran MP (@LaylaMoran) RT @NS_Spotlight: This year, we have published op-eds by MPs on everything from climate change to cyber security. Here is a selection of th… [Source]
21 Dec 2020 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) well with climate change we might be able to grow oranges but if that comes to pass so much of our country will be underwater it will be easier to grow rice in new 'paddy fields'....along with living on lamb (yuck) and herrings (double yuck) that we can't export anymore https://twitter.com/LizJarvisUK/status/1340947606546112513 [Source]
20 Dec 2020 Wendy Morton MP (@morton_wendy) The UK is leading the way in tackling #ClimateChange ahead of @COP26. This week I spoke to @bayramov_jeyhun about the strong future of the Azerbaijan-UK energy partnership. We’ll continue to work together on transitioning to clean energy use. [Source]
20 Dec 2020 Jeevun Sandher MP (@JeevunSandher) It's striking how much of his vision he achieved - on climate change, affordable healthcare, inequality, and stopping genocide (in Libya). [Source]

16 Dec 2020 Wendy Morton MP (@morton_wendy) Turkey ???????? and the UK ???????? will work together towards @COP26 and tackle the global challenge of #ClimateChange. Enjoyed a lovely cup of Turkish çay ???? and a good discussion on bilateral issues with Faruk Kaymakcı @frkkymkc, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. [Source]
16 Dec 2020 Zarah Sultana MP (@zarahsultana) To avert climate catastrophe, we must radically cut emissions.
That's why today's Supreme Court verdict to lift a ban on building a third runway at Heathrow is utterly irresponsible.
The runway must not be built. [Source]
16 Dec 2020 Vikki Slade MP (@VikkiSlade72) this is a welcome U Turn but should never have been there. Now we need major change to ensure smaller developments still have affordable housing, restore decision making to local people and include net zero building. Actually the whole thing needs to go back to the drawing board https://twitter.com/mpmwilko/status/1339145374238470146 [Source]
15 Dec 2020 Sarah Olney MP (@sarahjolney1) 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 Sarah Olney MP (@sarahjolney1) 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

15 Dec 2020 Sarah Olney MP (@sarahjolney1) ???? Protecting communities’ voices in the planning process
???? Decarbonising all of our housing

15 Dec 2020 Wendy Morton MP (@morton_wendy) Climate change is a shared challenge for the whole world, and today I spoke to Moldovan Foreign Minister @AureliuCiocoi to discuss ways to fight it. The UK and Moldova are proud partners in so many areas, and we stand together to defend democracy, the rule of law & human rights [Source]
15 Dec 2020 Pippa Heylings MP (@pippaheylings) Contradiction between government's climate targets and Planning Reform implications. Since 2012, planners, developers and residents waiting for govt to approve zero carbon homes policy. Future Homes Standard not fit for purpose for #ClimateEmergency nor COP 26 @AlokSharma_RDG [Source]
14 Dec 2020 Sean Woodcock MP (@SEANLWOODCOCK) @jilloakes60@Cherwellcouncil@CEEbill_NOW Labour on Cherwell, led by me, has shown we are absolutely committed to tackling climate change. It was us who proposed declaring the climate emergency in the first place among other things. We've a very solid record. [Source]
14 Dec 2020 Olly Glover MP (@OllyGloverLD) @robblackie Agree.
I think people in general should be careful about amplifying "public transport is dangerous" messages, both because alternatives like car sharing are more so, and because of the long-term impact on our climate change goals. [Source]
12 Dec 2020 Wendy Morton MP (@morton_wendy) The UK has shown leadership in tackling #ClimateChange with our own ambitious climate goal & other countries’ commitments at today's Climate Ambition Summit build on this. I look forward to working with all our international partners to do even more ahead of @COP26 #COP26Ambition [Source]

12 Dec 2020 Wendy Morton MP (@morton_wendy) We cannot tackle #ClimateChange if we do not address the causes head on.
As #COP26 President Designate, the UK is reducing its own emissions & supporting a clean energy transition abroad.
We need to build clean, inclusive & resilient economies & societies #COP26Ambition https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1337700668207980544 [Source]

09 Dec 2020 Jeremy Corbyn MP (@jeremycorbyn) The Climate Change Committee's report shows the scale of transformation and investment that is needed to tackle the climate emergency.
We need a #netzero strategy with social justice at its heart.
The Government must act urgently to make this a reality.

04 Dec 2020 Wendy Morton MP (@morton_wendy) #COVID19 has shown we need a #ResilientRecovery to prepare for future shocks, including impacts of #ClimateChange. Adapting & building resilience to climate impacts is a UK priority for #COP26. As Presidency holders, we will drive global ambition & encourage action #COP26Ambition https://twitter.com/WRIAdaptation/status/1333848528544817153 [Source]
03 Dec 2020 Matt Rodda MP (@MattRodda) The Prime Minister promised 4000 zero emission buses - yet the Government's own Spending Review only committed to 500. The Government needs to take urgent action to help tackle #climatechange #Environment #Rdguk [Source]
03 Dec 2020 Graham Stuart MP (@grahamstuart) Delighted this morning to chair the UK-Africa Renewable Energy Symposium with energy ministers across the continent.
We discussed how UK finance, investment & tech can help its renewable energy sector.
Great to inspire climate action & UK-Africa cooperation ahead of #COP26 ???? [Source]
03 Dec 2020 Liz Twist MP (@LizTwistMP) I recently held a virtual meeting with some local Year 3 pupils to discuss a variety of topics including climate change. A particularly pressing theme for them was plastic pollution. [Source]
03 Dec 2020 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) I welcome this important CCC recommendation just published to strengthen the 2030 climate change target. Notable that they say government could go further than 68%. Government should seek to go further and faster, playing our part to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees. [Source]

01 Dec 2020 Nick Timothy MP (@NJ_Timothy) @jerryhayes1 I think Andrew Mitchell (good minister) stopped formal bilateral aid in the early days of the coalition. But it continued through multilateral programmes, schemes on things like climate change, and Osborne’s absurd op kowtow eg giving millions to promote playing football there. [Source]
