In his first major foreign policy speech, Foreign Secretary David Lammy has made clear that action on climate is action on our security, our prosperity and our future.

At the Kew Lecture, Lammy talked about “resetting Britain’s approach to climate and nature”, setting out three priorities

1. Building a Global Clean Power Alliance
2. Unlocking more climate and nature finance
3. Reverse the decline in global biodiversity

Describing recent extreme weather worldwide, Lammy said: “These are not random events delivered from the heavens. They are failures of politics, of regulation, and of international cooperation.”
