Labour — Mid Cheshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 January 2025

Debate

Climate and Nature Bill

Contribution

I will not, because a lot of Members are trying to get in, and I want to make sure that everyone has a chance to speak. I am convinced that to tackle this challenge, we must commit to a just transition, with ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that not only put us on track to meet our global commitments but pave the way for a cleaner, greener future for generations to come. We must protect our precious natural ecosystems. The biodiversity crisis is a pressing issue, with species declining at an unprecedented rate. The World Wildlife Fund reported in October that between 1970 and 2020, there was a catastrophic 73% decline in wildlife populations. It is essential that we not only seek to halt that decline but prioritise the restoration and preservation of habitats.
