Ed Miliband

Labour — Doncaster North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 July 2025

Debate

State of Climate and Nature

Contribution

All those details are set out in the Climate Change Committee report. The right hon. Member can look for herself. [Interruption.] They are set out in carbon budget 7. Actually, the cost of getting to net zero has been coming down. When I set the 80% target, the cost of getting there, according to the committee, was higher than the cost now of getting to net zero. I make the point gently that the costs of inaction are much greater than the costs of action.
