Labour Climate and Environment Forum
@LCEF_UK
The Labour Climate and Environment Forum is an independent organisation working to strengthen climate and environmental ambition across the labour movement.
- A long-term strategy to invest in our future, give us energy indepence, and lower our bills. A perfect summation here from Starmer on the Green Prosperity Plan. Good to be focusing on what the GPP will bring to people across the UK.
00:00 - Very excited to launch today with some new evidence that finds showcasing climate leadership gives Labour a boost with voters. 'Powering up: the electoral benefits of Labour's climate leadership' can be found here: lcef.co.uk/publications/p… 🧵
- Replying to @LCEF_UK.@Ed_Miliband says he is incredibly proud of the agenda Labour has developed over the last 2 years. Part of his focus is now getting it to a place to be ready to implement it from day one of a Labour Government.
- Looking forward to the formal launch of LCEF this afternoon at Westminster. Working to embed the narrative that climate and environmental ambition is an issue of social justice and economic prosperity that sits comfortably at the heart of the movement as a core labour value.
- 📣We are really excited to announce that Megan Corton Scott has joined the LCEF team as our new Deputy Director. Welcome Megan! lcef.co.uk/who-we-are/
- @Ed_Miliband tells @mcortonscott that addressing climate change is central to Keir Starmer’s government, at our conference Green Renewal: What next for Labour in Government #GreenRenewal
- Fantastic to see Starmer give clear and robust vocal support to the Green Prosperity Plan, borrowing to invest to improve energy independence and lower energy bills. Bring it on, indeed! youtu.be/jmMqGx_4auo?si…
- 🚨Today we release a new essay collection, ‘Climate, Justice and Jobs: What a Green Prosperity Plan means for the UK’🚨 It explores how Labour’s GPP can create lasting change, featuring a host of brilliant voices from across the labour movement. lcef.co.uk/publications/p… 🧵
- 🧵With the finalisation of Labour's Parliamentary Candidates selection process, we're delighted that several members of our advisory and trustee boards have been selected to stand in seats across the UK:
- Delighted to see our amazing advisory group highlighted in Politico. An energetic group looking forward, not back. Now to get on with the work of ensuring high environmental ambition remains at the heart of the labour movement over the next year. politico.eu/newsletter/lon….
- Great to visit No 10 this morning to discuss LCEF's work with the new Government. Topics included energy infrastructure, the just transition, and supporting our farmers. We look forward to working with the Government to help it deliver on its climate and environmental ambition.
- We'd like to say a huge thank you to all the speakers and attendees of our Parliamentary event yesterday. It was inspiring to hear the speakers place climate and nature at the heart of Labour's agenda.
- Starmer's announcement yesterday for floating wind showed how place-based investment will get regional (and national) economies growing. @steve_race, PPC for Exeter, showed how this can be done across the UK in his excellent essay from earlier this year: lcef.co.uk/publications/p…
