Andy Burnham says "new era of British leadership" on climate

Prime Minister Andy Burnham spoke at the UN Cop31 summit in Turkey, emphasizing the urgency of the climate crisis and recommitting the UK to its 2050 net zero target. He highlighted recent extreme weather events and global energy price increases, linking them to fossil fuel dependence. Burnham, the only G7 leader scheduled to address the gathering, announced the appointment of a special representative for climate security and called for industry partnership to facilitate a green transition, stating that global consensus on climate science has diminished and urgent action is required.
