As a co-sponsor of the Climate and Nature Bill in the last Parliament, I was proud to see a petition with over 52,000 signatures delivered to 10 Downing Street.

This petition called for the Prime Minister to back the Bill and allow it to make progress in the House of Commons.

Written by scientists, the Bill would lock into law our international obligations and restore the UK as a global climate leader.

I look forward to this government adopting a science-led approach to tackling the climate crisis.
