Proceeding contribution from Ed Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.


Copenhagen Climate Change Conference

I agree with my hon. Friend, and thank him for his remarks about the role that I played in this difficult process. I think that GLOBE has played a very important role over the past 12 months, and that it will do so again in the future. Moreover, he draws attention to the fact that many of the targets that countries will enter into the accord will be domestically binding. Those targets will have gone through national Parliaments, and the new Indian Environment Minister has said that he wants to take legislation on India's so-called six national missions through his House. That is a big step forward, and it is important to emphasise the crucial role of legislators in this process.
