CCC report - Long Bailey responds

Rebecca Long Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Business and Energy Secretary, responding to the CCC report on climate change saying that efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions are lagging far behind what is needed, said:

“This is a remarkable, damning assessment of the Government’s failure to tackle and prepare for climate change by their own advisors.

“With the Government delivering on just one out of 25 policy areas, this is proof, if more were needed, that the Government has no plan to tackle the climate emergency declared by Parliament.

“Labour takes the climate crisis seriously, and will kickstart a Green Industrial Revolution to safeguard our future and transform our economy.”
