20 Apr 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Despite progress on decarbonising power and industry, we are woefully behind on:
Surface transport- emissions at the same level as 1990;
Housing- emissions from buildings have only fallen 10% in the past decade and are higher than 2015;
Agriculture- remained flat since 2008. [Source]
20 Apr 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Even the government’s minimum target will require huge changes. According to the @theCCCuk , it means the full decarbonisation of power by 2035, half of new car sales electric by 2025; £50bn of public + private investment every by 2030. We are not on track for any of this. [Source]
20 Apr 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) Aiming for 78% of emissions cut by 2035 is an improvement, but for @UKLabour, net zero by 2050 is not ambitious enough. This is the decisive decade for climate action + we have said that the substantial majority of our emissions must be cut by the end of it. [Source]
20 Apr 2021 Ed Miliband MP (@Ed_Miliband) The Government upgrading its climate targets is welcome, but this is the minimum we should be doing, and targets are no substitute for a plan. It is time we started treating the climate emergency like a proper emergency. THREAD [Source]

20 Apr 2021 Darren Jones MP (@darrenpjones) Good news that international aviation and shipping now included in our decarbonisation targets, alongside an increased target to bring us in line with our sixth carbon budget.

18 Apr 2021 Danny Chambers MP (@DannyVet) The most pressing challenges we face are truly global in nature – climate change, antibiotic resistance, how to manage and feed our fast-growing population and fighting pandemics.
None of these issues can be addressed by any country working alone.
