Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

World Ocean Day

Contribution

My Lords, carbon emissions harm the oceans through warming, acidification and deoxygenation, and threaten climate, food and jobs. Since 1990, the carbon emissions of the UK’s richest 0.1% have increased by 53%, while the bottom 90% have cut theirs by 26%. Can the Minister explain how the Government curb carbon emissions by the super-rich and make them bear the cost of their pollution?
