Thank you to cross-party colleagues for electing me as Chair of the Climate APPG today @ClimateAPPG
Before I was elected I worked globally to advance climate action. I promised that my commitment would continue from Parliament
Denying the science was once a preserve of the fringes, but more and more we are seeing it politicised
We must push back and keep advancing. Bolder climate action helps our economy, tackles a leading cause of migration and helps protect our planet for generations to come🌍

APPG member @Wera_Hobhouse insisted that the UK’s dependence on fossil fuels caused by previous failure to invest sufficiently in renewables and home insulation led directly to the spike in energy bills in recent years.

As climate costs escalate, at home and abroad, the cost of the transition is falling, as technologies innovate and improve.
APPG member @PollyBLabour argued that investment in renewables will reduce the cost of energy and provide vital energy security in an uncertain world.
