Besides being one of the UK's best tools to tacking climate change, the ZEV mandate is also helping to make EVs more affordable & accessible than ever before. With EVs able to save people up to £1,400 a year on fuel costs, now is the time to double down on the transition rather than row back.

Two major records have been broken in recent days: ⛽ Diesel prices hit £2 a litre for the first time. 🔌 Sept was the biggest ever month for new EV sales, with nearly 100k sold. Getting drivers off the fossil fuel rollercoaster must be a priority for this Labour Government.

Baffling to see The Times claim that Burnham “did not mention energy” in his conference speech. Energy was referenced no fewer than 10 times, alongside a major announcement of £4bn for Great British Grid to cut connection delays and bring bills down. Britain's energy challenge was front & centre.

🌍 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.
