🌍 Good to join the Labour Climate and Environment Forum at Labour Party Conference, stepping in for Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband. 🌐 We discussed a values-led foreign policy, the importance of multilateralism and the role of the UN in tackling global challenges.

As more and more matches get cancelled due to climate impacts every year, it’s time we talk about the impact of climate change on sport. We were delighted to host Richard Parks, former Welsh Rugby Player and Minister Katie White on the importance of taking action now.

London has too many diesel vans on our streets. 100,761 diesel vans were registered by businesses at the end of 2025, compared with just 5,582 electric vans. I’ve written for @lcefuk.bsky.social about how a zero-emission freight zone could help turn this around, building on the Dutch success.

🧵Weather maybe getting cooler, but what has been the impact of recent heatwaves on public attitudes to and salience of climate and net zero? Two thirds of the public say they are worried about hot weather and 86% think climate change at least partially responsible.
