COP26

Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 November 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on COP26.

May I associate myself and my party with the Prime Minister’s remarks on the horrific attacks in Liverpool?

We had all hoped that the UK would lead the world to a bold agreement at Glasgow, to turn the tide on dangerous climate change. Despite the efforts of the COP President and the excellent UK negotiating team, regrettably, the agreement fell short, potentially dangerously so, yet there is still an opportunity for the UK to drive global climate action by cleaning up the City of London. Fossil fuel investors raise billions of pounds in this very city for coal and oil projects around the world. While China and India stopped a better deal on fossil fuels at COP, they cannot stop the Prime Minister showing leadership here in London, so will he stop dirty fossil fuel money for global coal and oil projects being raised here in the City of London?
