Labour Government Accelerates Climate Action with Bold New Policies

Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticizes previous Tory administration as 'climate dinosaurs' and commits to aggressive environmental reforms.

  • Labour leaders, including David Lammy and Ed Miliband, emphasize the urgency of addressing the climate crisis in recent speeches.
  • The new government has lifted bans on onshore windfarms, halted support for controversial oil and gas projects, and proposed a publicly owned power company.
  • Lammy announced the creation of a global clean power alliance to enhance renewable energy efforts worldwide and appointed a new UK special representative for climate change and nature.
  • Critics argue Labour's approach could increase energy costs and drive businesses abroad, while proponents highlight the need for investment to achieve a low-carbon future.
  • The shift in policy has been welcomed by international states, NGOs, and climate activists, contrasting with the previous government's perceived neglect of environmental issues.
