    “The South West stands on the cusp of a green industrial revolution, one that connects Cornwall to Bristol through the Celtic Sea, harnesses offshore wind and places our region at the heart of the UK’s clean energy future. With natural resources and skilled workers, we can lead the way in tackling the climate crisis while creating lasting opportunities for all of us in the South West.”

    The House
    “Society faces a climate and ecological crisis that is the legacy of a generation of inaction. … Collectively we have an obligation to future generations. We also have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our society. Globally, and locally, the oldest, youngest, the least well off and those with health conditions will bear the brunt of a changing climate. … Action on climate change also has the power to create a renaissance in the British economy.”
