10 Nov 2021 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) It's time for @BorisJohnson's to lead by example at #COP26.
That means:
1. Getting a commitment from all countries to put in place #netzero strategies & action plans to cut emissions by at least half by 2030 so we have a shot at staying below 1.5C.

10 Nov 2021 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) Boris says: "If we don't get serious about climate change today, it will be too late for our children to do so tomorrow”
Boris does: Scraps the Green Home Grant despite urgent need to #retrofit 19 million homes, whilst ploughing £27bn into road transport.
I could go on.

10 Nov 2021 Miatta Fahnbulleh MP (@Miatsf) Boris says: "The longer we fail to act, the worse it gets and the higher the price when we are forced by catastrophe to act.”
Boris does: Committed only £7bn to support the #netzero transition - a fraction of what the @theCCCuk says we need. He needs to spend £30bn a year.

10 Nov 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) With countries having spent trillions on coal, oil and gas since the #ParisAgreement it's right that the draft #COP26 cover decision ref the need to "accelerate the phasing-out of coal and subsidies for fossil fuels".

02 Nov 2021 Karin Smyth MP (@karinsmyth) This #COP26 the Govt risks falling into the trap of big, shiny spending announcements.
If they are serious about tackling waste & #ClimateChange they must properly fund local government so we can retrofit council buildings - cutting carbon emissions & properly insulating homes. https://x.com/karinsmyth/status/1455504966081302529/photo/1 [Source]

It has a huge amount of coal power under construction and more in the pipeline. No explicit announcement on the issue yesterday – it will need to be confronted. [Source]

01 Nov 2021 Helen Grant MP (@HelenGrantMP) 1⃣ Last month, I spoke to Priyanka from Trinidad & Tobago. She did her own research into climate change at age 11 following Hurricanes Irma & Maria, which devastated nearby countries. Climate change was not taught at school.

01 Nov 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) I think the negative reactions to India’s new climate pledge may be mistaken. Yes, net zero by 2070 is late but the 2030 targets - 500GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity, 50% renewable, a billion tonnes of CO2 reduction - imply a 2030s peak. Not enough but still significant.

01 Nov 2021 Rupert Lowe MP (@RupertLowe10) 400 private jets arrived in Scotland for this climate conference.

Hypocrites. [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Paul Waugh MP (@paulwaugh) Modi full plan ("a gift of five elixirs"):
1. raise non fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030. 2. 50% from renewable energy sources by 2030
3. cut total carbon emissions by 1bn tonnes by 2030
4. cut carbon intensity for its economy by 45% by 2030
5 achieve net zero by 2070 [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Paul Waugh MP (@paulwaugh) But here's the kicker.
Modi: "By 2070, India will achieve the target of net zero emissions..."
Note 2070, not 2050. Lots of countries will think that's a kick in the teeth. Others may take comfort from some of his non-fossil fuel pledges [Source]

- New North Sea oil field
- New Cumbria coal mine
- New Mozambique gas project (funded with £835 million of public money)
- Slashing tax on domestic flights
- Subsidies for fossil fuel industry [Source]

01 Nov 2021 Tahir Ali MP (@TahirAliMP) World leaders gather at #COP26 let's remind ourselves of Sunak's las Budget - tax cuts on air & car travel, nothing on achieving net zero in our housing sector.
Nothing on retrofitting or on green new builds.
Housing cannot be an afterthought when considering climate change. [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) @JustineBrian What worries me about your framing here is that you focus on the impact of net zero as if the counter point is everything carrying on as it is. That simply isn’t the case. It’s addressing the issue or catastrophic global climate change. [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Anna McMorrin MP (@AnnaMcMorrin) ????The world’s eyes are on us.
As the most important climate summit begins, the world is looking to #COP26 for real action.
It must be the watershed moment for UK ministers to get a grip on climate & stop undermining progress.

01 Nov 2021 Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) @walletzerosan But individual actions play a huge role in arresting the pandemic. Shifting the focus on climate change to individuals not systems is actively counter productive [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Paul Waugh MP (@paulwaugh) Brian Cox is opening the #COP26 summit with a video. No, it's not a big 'fuck offffff' to world leaders, Succession style.
It's @ProfBrianCox telling them there may be only one Earth. [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) This kind of journalism is so frustrating. We accept that the scale of climate change means government not individual action is key to solving climate change, so why are we clutching pearls at how leaders travel to COP. What do you want Biden and Macron to cycle to the venue? https://twitter.com/C4Ciaran/status/1455121067316555779 [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Matthew Pennycook MP (@mtpennycook) The 1.5C emissions gap was never going to be closed at #COP26 but we need a collective understanding of what level of global ambition must emerge from Glasgow to keep 1.5C alive as well as agreement, as I argued in Parliament last week, on more regular reviews of climate plans. https://x.com/mtpennycook/status/1455144668207984640/photo/1 [Source]
01 Nov 2021 Munira Wilson MP (@munirawilson) We need a joined up approach, alongside long-term commitment and action. I hope that the Govt uses #COP26 to introduce improved climate change education to our schools. Not only will this help our planet, but it will also help children and young people’s wellbeing.

01 Nov 2021 Munira Wilson MP (@munirawilson) The public want to see more involvement of climate change education in the national curriculum. On my website, 300+ local residents signed my petition on this very topic. There is certainly a desire out there for improved climate change education in our schools.

I am always quizzed heavily on these issues. It's clear that climate change is a priority and we need to boost education in this area.
