Climate Change
Emily speaking at the Climate Clinic in Manchester
As an environmental campaigner, I have been pushing for an ambitious and effective response to climate change - from the UK and internationally.
I went to the Copenhagen climate summit in December 2009 as part of a cross-party team of MPs from around the world. You can read my blog on the summit here
I sponsored the original Climate Change Bill and seconded successful amendments for tougher carbon reduction targets to the Government’s subsequent Climate Change Act 2008.
And in 2008 I was named Environment MP of the Year in recognition of my work in Islington schools promoting marine conservation.
