Climate Election: Where does my MP stand?
Middlesbrough South and Cleveland East
MP and Party
Position on Net Zero / Climate Change
-
MP commitment
Committed to net zero by 2050 and to meeting the UK’s international commitments on emission reduction for 2030 and 2035. Committed to action on climate change. *
"The Climate Change Act is central to Britain’s prosperity, security, global reputation and is crucial to the fight against both climate change and nature degradation. Repealing it would be a reckless backward step."

Co-signatory on joint letter.“There are currently over 8,000 jobs in green industries on Teesside, with thousands more on the way in carbon capture, turbine manufacture, hydrogen and solar. This [Conservative and Reform plan to repeal the Climate Change Act] position is not only backwards, it would risk thousands of jobs and billions of pounds of investment in our region. While they stay stuck in the past, we are powering ahead with the industries of the future.”
