10 years ago, the world came together in Paris…
United in our determination –
To tackle the climate crisis.
A consensus that was based on science that is unequivocal.
And this unity was not just international –
It was there within most of our countries.
There was cross-party consensus in the United Kingdom.
The only question was how fast could we go.
Today, sadly that consensus is gone.
With some arguing this isn’t the time to act….
And saying tackling climate change can wait.
But my question is this:
Can energy security wait too?
Can billpayers wait?
Can we win the race for green jobs and investment by going slow?
Of course not.
Inaction would only deepen these problems…
Drive prices higher…
Leave the call of opportunity unanswered…
And leave our communities exposed to
