Time to move on from promises and deliver on fair climate action

Beth John, Climate Justice Advisor at Oxfam GB, said:

“The Prime Minister is right to acknowledge the immense potential of climate action - to deliver tangible benefits for workers and communities in the UK, and the opportunity for the UK to take a leading role in global climate leadership.

“However, warm words alone won’t suffice. If the UK truly intends to be “all in” on fighting the climate crisis, it must place fairness and better lives at the heart of its climate agenda. That means championing a genuinely just transition - one that protects workers, supports communities and tackles global inequality. This must include ramping up support for nations on the frontlines of climate impacts.

“To choose a better path toward a fairer, greener future, it is time to move on from promises and deliver on fair climate action, at home and around the world.”
