"While Brazil prepares to host ... COP 30 in Belém — in the heart of the Amazon — in November 2025, it is also pushing to drill for oil in the region, one of the world’s last biodiversity frontiers."

@edmilibandmp.bsky.social The country is counting on you and your department to #StopRosebank once and for all.
We can't afford the CO2 and other emissions from its oil - for the climate or our health.
It will do nothing for our energy security or energy costs.
Make it clear #NoMoreOilAndGas

DEFUND GENOCIDE 🌹 STOP ROSEBANK
Today we stood outside DESNZ as part of the national march for Palestine to call out the potential of up to £253M in oil profits going to a UN black listed corporation, if the Rosebank oil field is approved by the UK government.

Labour MPs challenge Richard Tice over Reform UK’s plan to scrap green projects
Exclusive: Letter signed by 59 MPs criticises party’s deputy leader after his warned energy firms over new contracts
I signed this letter.
This isn't about party politics but about my constituents.
Only last week Japanese manufacturer Astemo confirmed £100 million of investment into new highly-skilled jobs for the electric vehicle supply chain right here in Horwich.
Reform would rip that up. Irresponsible.

The future is green: The economic opportunities brought by the UK’s…
The net zero economy has become a significant driver of growth and innovation in the UK, achieving remarkable growth over recent years.
And if tackling climate change's worsening impacts were not incentive enough, net zero industries add £83bn in value to the UK economy, employ nearly a million people, and are growing 10% year-on-year, at at time when the wider economy is not growing quite so fast! eciu.net/analysis/rep...
