Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 June 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G7.


G7

The G7 pledge on climate action is very welcome, but a new report from Oxfam warns:

“Coal plants in G7 countries are on track to cost the world $450 billion a year by the end of the century”.

Given that the Committee on Climate Change recommended that we should end unabated coal generation by the early 2020s, will the Prime Minister put in place a policy framework to try to achieve that?
