Ed Miliband comments on UNFCCC's NDC Synthesis report

Ed Miliband MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, commenting on the UNFCCC's NDC Synthesis report, said:

"This sobering report cuts through the greenwash and exposes the awful truth: the world is not remotely on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.

"COP26 provides the world with a chance to secure the progress needed to avert catastrophic climate breakdown.

"As hosts, the UK has a unique responsibility to make the summit a success. Instead, Boris Johnson's serial unseriousness, failure to engage with the detail and hypocrisy at home including rolling over to big polluters is undermining COP26 before it has begun.

"We can have no more climate delay. The Government must act now before the window closes."
