Labour — Bristol East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 July 2025

Debate

Net Zero Policies

Contribution

The science is absolutely clear: every avoided fraction of a degree of warming makes a difference to the severity of climate impacts. That is why the Prime Minister went to the global leaders summit at COP29 last year to announce a new 1.5°C-aligned nationally determined contribution, and we will continue to show international leadership.
