The Climate Emergency

Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 October 2019. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on The Climate Emergency.

We will certainly look at all the options to create low-carbon jobs, including the ideas that the hon. Gentleman speaks about.

Just as the Climate Change Act set a path to reducing carbon emissions, so our Environment Bill will embed environmental principles at the heart of Government decision making. It will mandate the Government to set ambitious, legally binding targets on the pressing environmental concerns that we face as a nation, including air quality, water, resource efficiency, waste reduction and safeguarding nature and habitats.
