Dr Sam Rushworth

Labour — Bishop Auckland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 October 2024

Debate

COP29 and International Climate Finance

Contribution

I welcome the point the hon. Lady is making. Thirty-four countries in Africa are spending more on debt interest than on health and education. If we are to talk about a just transition, it is simply not right that the poorest people in the world should be paying for it. That gives force to what she is saying. Will she comment more on ensuring that this is a just transition?
