Lisa Nandy MP, Labour’s
Shadow Energy & Climate Change Secretary, reacting to the news that the
first truly international climate agreement has been reached involving all of
the world’s major economies, said:
“For the first time ever the nations of the world have come together to
agree that every single one of them will act to cut carbon pollution.
“In
the coming months and years we have a huge amount of work to do to deliver on
the promises made in Paris, but this deal will take us much, much closer to
climate safety. We now have a common goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5
degrees and an international plan of action. That matters, and it makes this a
historic moment to be celebrated.”
