Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, has called for urgent action on climate change. In a speech in Parliament today, she said that the government's current plans are not enough to avert a climate catastrophe.
Lucas said that the government needs to invest in renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions and protect our natural environment. She also called for a fair transition to a green economy, so that no one is left behind.
Lucas's speech comes as the UK prepares to host the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow later this year. The conference is an opportunity for world leaders to come together and agree on urgent action to tackle climate change.
