Richard Foord

Liberal Democrat — Honiton and Sidmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 September 2026

Debate

Global Biodiversity and Ecosystems: National Security

Contribution

We both live near the University of Exeter, and Professor Neil Adger has talked about the risks and limits of a securitisation framing of nature and biodiversity, and the idea that this is a global problem of our biosphere but not a national security problem. What does my hon. Friend think? Does he see this as a people’s emergency or a national emergency?
