We've found the following climate-related tweets, speeches & votes by Zarah Sultana

• 29 Jan 2025: Tweet

  In 2018, the Prime Minister opposed a third runway at Heathrow. Now, in the middle of a climate emergency, his government is backing it. A complete U-turn at the expense of local communities and the planet. Reckless, short-sighted and indefensible. [Source]

• 09 Jan 2025: Tweet

  Young people face soaring rents, crippling student debt, a lack of good quality jobs & a future threatened by climate catastrophe. But speaking with students today filled me with hope. Together, we can fight for a fairer, brighter future. Thanks @WarwickLabour for having me! ✌???? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1877465014069535060/photo/1 [Source]

• 09 Jan 2025: Tweet

  From devastating wildfires in California to extreme weather and flooding across the UK, we face a clear choice: We can either build a habitable planet capable of sustaining future generations or let the unchecked greed of billionaires push us further into climate catastrophe. [Source]

• 25 Nov 2024: Tweet

  My thoughts are with those affected by Storm Bert & I thank our emergency services on the frontline. With extreme weather rising due to climate change, fire services need urgent funding. England is the only part of the UK without a statutory duty for flooding. This must change. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1861168870565810606/video/1 [Source]

• 18 Nov 2024: Tweet

  The cost-of-living crisis is far from over, yet the government’s 50% increase to the bus fare cap is a political choice, adding hundreds to annual costs. To address hardship & the climate crisis, the government must keep the £2 cap & make public transport accessible for all. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1858598986040680829/video/1 [Source]

• 24 Oct 2024: Tweet

  Taxpayers compensated descendants of slave owners until 2015. It’s time for the UK government to apologise & pay reparations for its role in the Caribbean slave trade. Addressing historical injustices is crucial in tackling the climate crisis & supporting those most impacted. [Source]

• 25 Sep 2024: Tweet

  Google provided £10,000 of hospitality to senior Labour figures & the party ditched plans to raise the Digital Services Tax. Quadrature, a Cayman Islands hedge-fund which invests in fossil fuels, donated £4m & its climate advisory board co-chair is now Climate Envoy. It stinks. [Source]

• 23 Jan 2024: Tweet

  The transition to net zero will require low carbon steel – and we could be making more of that here in Britain. That's why today I joined @unitetheunion to call on the government to bring forward a plan to create jobs, not cut them. https://twitter.com/zarahsultana/status/1749818382491464040/photo/1 [Source]

• 27 Sep 2023: Tweet

  The Tory government's approval of Rosebank is climate vandalism. It's not about cutting energy bills (it won't). It's about boosting obscene fossil fuel profits – even if that means accelerating the climate crisis. #StopRosebank and put people and planet before profit. [Source]

• 25 Jul 2023: Tweet

  With deadly forest fires, devastating floods and record-breaking temperatures recorded, remember: Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. Only bold state-led policy – beginning with a Green New Deal – can avert climate catastrophe. [Source]

• 24 Jan 2023: Tweet

  There's no bigger threat than the climate catastrophe, but the school curriculum is leaving pupils unprepared for the challenges ahead. That's why I am pleased to co-sponsor @NadiaWhittomeMP's Climate Education Bill, which she brought back to Parliament today ???????????? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1617950924907110400/photo/1 [Source]

• 22 Nov 2022: Tweet

  Young people are growing up with a world in crisis: From the cost-of-living to the climate emergency. That's why I find it so important to visit schools in my constituency and speak about politics, as I did last week at Earlsdon & Willenhall primaries & Meadow Park secondary ???? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1595106368633159681/photo/1 [Source]

• 20 Jun 2022: Tweet

  The climate crisis is displacing people across the globe and even more will be forced to move if it's allowed to get worse. That's why climate justice is migrant justice and it's why I joined @GNDRising as they prepared to demonstrate against the hostile environment in Coventry. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1538927728921034755/photo/1 [Source]

• 30 May 2022: Tweet

• 07 Apr 2022: Tweet

  The climate crisis is already wreaking havoc across the globe, but young people's futures are most at risk. That's why youth groups like @GNDRising are leading the fight for climate and social justice. Earlier this week I joined them at Coventry University to speak about this. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1512093544063852550/photo/1 [Source]

  Subsidy Control Bill — Schedule 1 - The subsidy control principles - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 08 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Boris Johnson says "when it comes to tackling climate change, words without action are absolutely pointless." So why didn't you sign my letter calling for the MPs' Pension Fund to divest from fossil fuel companies, @BorisJohnson? ???? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/08/climate-130-mps-call-pension-fund-divest-fossil-fuels [Source]

• 03 Nov 2021: Tweet

  The Conservatives talk-the-talk on the climate emergency, but look at what they're actually doing: From backing a new North Sea oil field to slashing taxes on domestic flights, they're not serious about this crisis. Me on #PoliticsLive today: https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1456017894488354818/video/1 [Source]

• 02 Nov 2021: Tweet

  It was great to talk about COP26, his government's drive to eliminate poverty, and the time he spent in Coventry while studying Economics at the University of Warwick. The university can be very proud of what he's gone on to do! ???????? [Source]

• 02 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Boris Johnson says that "when it comes to tackling climate change, words without action are absolutely pointless." I agree. So will you back my call for the MPs' Pension Fund to divest from fossil fuel companies, @BorisJohnson? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1455498097912688645/video/1 [Source]

• 02 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Last week I stood with young people outside Parliament, demanding they're taught the truth about the climate emergency and are equipped with the skills to tackle it ???????? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1455484036248444928/photo/1 [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  Boris Johnson says he wants Britain to be a “world leader” on tackling the climate crisis. He also will be flying from Glasgow to London tomorrow, one week after slashing taxes on domestic flights. He’s taking the p*ss. [Source]

• 01 Nov 2021: Tweet

  When Boris Johnson says he's serious about the climate emergency, remember he backs: - 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]

• 29 Oct 2021: Tweet

  The Green New Deal Bill is a plan to avert climate catastrophe by taking on the fossil fuel industry and putting people and planet before profit. To show leadership on climate, Labour should wholeheartedly support it. Me for @LabourList: https://labourlist.org/2021/10/labour-must-go-bold-on-the-climate-with-the-green-new-deal/ [Source]

• 28 Oct 2021: Tweet

  To avert climate catastrophe, we need to rapidly transition from deadly fossil fuels to renewables like wind, tidal and solar. Last night I chaired an event in Coventry about we can do this locally, working to make the city's energy sustainable and fit for the future ???? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1453748607514038274/photo/1 [Source]

• 27 Oct 2021: Tweet

  You don't slash taxes on domestic flights if you're serious about the climate emergency @RishiSunak. [Source]

• 27 Oct 2021: Tweet

  If Boris Johnson was serious about the climate crisis, he wouldn't take money from the fossil fuel companies burning our planet. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1453345547822288904/video/1 [Source]

• 09 Oct 2021: Tweet

  Today I marched for the climate in Coventry, demanding the government uses @COP26 to bring about the change we need to save our future ???????? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1446878411964796936/photo/1 [Source]

• 26 Sep 2021: Tweet

  There’s no bigger challenge than the climate crisis. It’s the issue that will define our future. This afternoon I joined a fantastic @TWT_NOW panel to speak about how we must rise to this challenge, matching it in scale & ambition. Now is no time to back away from bold answers. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1442165931644370951/photo/1 [Source]

• 23 Sep 2021: Tweet

  Capitalism is driving us to climate catastrophe. The political establishment is fiddling while the planet burns. My generation won't stand for this. Tomorrow, outside Parliament, I'm joining the #ClimateStrike to say we need system change, not climate change. #UprootTheSystem https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1441079171841728514/photo/1 [Source]

• 16 Sep 2021: Tweet

  My generation will be particularly unimpressed by attempts to block the policies needed to avert climate catastrophe. This outrageous, anti-democratic and frankly embarrassing decision must be reversed. https://twitter.com/LabGND/status/1438521004070891531 [Source]

• 10 Sep 2021: Tweet

  The climate crisis is with us. Floods & forest fires are wreaking havoc. My generation & the young will feel its worst effects: a future on an unliveable planet. This morning I met Coventry @GNDRising, talking about how we avert climate catastrophe & build a more equal world ???? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1436383565701332995/photo/1 [Source]

  As tens of millions of people flee war, persecution and the effects of climate breakdown in the coming years, one principle will be non-negotiable if we want to live in a humane society: Refugees are welcome here. [Source]

• 12 Aug 2021: Tweet

  Decarbonisation will be costly for the billionaire press barons & polluters, so they ignore: ????The huge improvements a just transition away from fossil fuels will make to the lives of billions ???? The consequences of inaction: permanent catastrophe & an uninhabitable planet [Source]

• 12 Aug 2021: Tweet

  It’s no surprise that The Spectator is scaremongering about action on climate change. Billionaires use the newspapers & magazines they own to defend the interests of fellow oligarchs. That includes the big polluters who are burning the planet & threatening our survival. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1425938777265029120/photo/1 [Source]

• 10 Aug 2021: Tweet

  Climate breakdown isn’t a crime of humanity. It’s a crime against humanity, perpetrated by fossil fuel executives and the politicians they bankroll. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/09/ipcc-reports-verdict-on-climate-crimes-of-humanity-guilty-as-hell?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1628496756 [Source]

• 09 Aug 2021: Tweet

  Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. The climate crisis is a capitalist crisis. We need system change to avert climate catastrophe. [Source]

• 05 Aug 2021: Tweet

  From rising rents & insecure work, to climate breakdown & a planet on fire, young people are being failed by politics. That's not going to change unless we change it, getting active & demanding better. That was my message at @PositiveYouth96's Hear Us event in Coventry today ???????? https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1423285260276551682/photo/1 [Source]

• 03 Aug 2021: Tweet

  The wildfires razing Turkey & spreading across southern Europe are a reminder that the climate crisis isn’t a looming threat. It’s here. Unless we act urgently to wind down the fossil fuel industry & build green infrastructure, these fires & floods will become the new normal. [Source]

• 16 Jul 2021: Tweet

  The flooding in Europe shows we need to rapidly decarbonise. That means switching carbon-emitting cars with electric vehicles (mainly buses) & publicly owned trains. That's what the Coventry gigafactory could do – at the same time as creating 6000 jobs ????????https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/huge-gigafactory-plan-coventry-airport-21051309 [Source]

• 09 Jun 2021: Tweet

  This is how serious Boris Johnson is about combating the climate emergency: He flew to Cornwall. https://t.co/Yitlocr1zl [Source]

  Environment Bill — New Clause 24 - Prohibition on burning of peat in upland areas - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 22 Apr 2021: Tweet

  The climate crisis is a capitalist crisis. The profits of the super-rich are put before people and planet. That's why the answer to climate change isn't paper straws or reusable bags. The answer is system change. Me for @tribunemagazine: https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/04/paper-straws-are-not-enough [Source]

• 20 Mar 2021: Tweet

  We cannot talk about the climate crisis without recognising that it’s also an issue of race, class, gender and imperialism. @UnionOJ is a brilliant initiative by @MagicMagid & I'm so excited to join its board alongside changemakers from across Europe! ???????? https://x.com/UnionOJ/status/1372110604857704448/video/1 [Source]

• 09 Mar 2021: Tweet

  The climate crisis is already with us. From more flooding in the UK, to wildfires in Australia & droughts in East Africa. For @WarwickSU Green Week, I joined a great discussion on the climate crisis & why we need a Green New Deal to tackle social injustice & climate disaster. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1369281795225686018/photo/1 [Source]

  Labour for a Green New Deal have done amazing work pushing for a just, socialist response to the climate emergency. Give them a follow, get involved, and together let's fight for our future ???????????? https://twitter.com/LabGND/status/1355079412325224449 [Source]

  Financial Services Bill — Schedule 2 - Prudential regulation of FCA investment firms - Pro-climate vote: Aye - Their vote: Aye

• 16 Dec 2020: Tweet

  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]

• 23 Nov 2020: Tweet

  My generation is fed up with the status quo. Rents are too high, work is insecure & the threat of climate crisis looms. We get into politics to change things, not to watch from the sidelines. Young members must be able to freely organise. They shouldn't be treated like this. https://twitter.com/JessicaLBarnard/status/1330964928803565569 [Source]
