MP and Party
Position on Net Zero / Climate Change
  • MP commitment

    Committed to net zero in 2050 and to meeting UK’s international commitments on emission reduction for 2030 and 2035, but wants to get to net zero sooner. Committed to climate action. *


    “The [Green New Deal] bill sets out a path for rapid decarbonisation, aiming for net zero by 2030. … The bill recognises that tweaking the system isn’t enough. The measures included in it seek to fundamentally transform the economy, acknowledging that the climate emergency gives no room for moderation. … Failure on the climate emergency spells disaster for my generation and for people across the world. We grew up knowing that this crisis was real and that its importance would only grow as we got older. A refusal to rise to this challenge will not quickly be forgotten.”

    “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.”
