• 19 Mar 2021 Why is this year's climate summit COP26 so important? As President, is UK doing enough to achieve commitments in Paris Accord on higher ambition & transformative role of local authority contributions? See you at Conference @libdemlocalgov @GreenLibDems https://youtu.be/iPHADziUHTo [Source]
• 06 Mar 2021 And make it a central plank of postCOVID recovery, making it a truly green recovery. Otherwise face triple whammy 'perfect storm' of Brexit, COVID and Climate Change @GreenLibDems @catherinemep @Wera_Hobhouse https://twitter.com/soclibforum/status/1367903604343009285 [Source]
• 04 Feb 2021 Thank you @Wera_Hobhouse for holding govt feet to the fire. We only have a few months before the global climate summit in Glasgow where not only do we need to show how we are meeting existing #NetZero goals but also meet Paris commitment to increase them!! @GreenLibDems https://twitter.com/Wera_Hobhouse/status/1357331974361288707 [Source]
• 04 Feb 2021 This coal mine decision must be reversed or @AlokSharma_RDG @RobertJenrick @BorisJohnson will be failing in both national and global leadership to meet existing climate targets inthe year when all are expected to raise climate ambition #COP26 https://twitter.com/EdwardJDavey/status/1357213874932613120 [Source]
• 30 Jan 2021 Just months away from hosting global climate summit, National Climate Change Committee exposes how govt support for coal mine flies in face of its recommendations for UK to reach net zero regarding coal mining & steel-making.

• 21 Jan 2021 Yes! Setting a floor for climate leadership-not a ceiling!! Fantastic to have you back, working to ratchet up ambition on the Paris Climare Agreement ahead of COP26 hosted by the UK.

• 16 Dec 2020 Fantastic work by @sarahjolney1 in securing #PlanningDebate & laying bare the 3 key contradictions in the new White Paper on Planning which need to be challenged: stripping away local community's voice; failing to decarbonise all housing; failing to protect local biodiversity https://twitter.com/sarahjolney1/status/1338884717916123136 [Source]
• 15 Dec 2020 Contradiction between government's climate targets and Planning Reform implications. Since 2012, planners, developers and residents waiting for govt to approve zero carbon homes policy. Future Homes Standard not fit for purpose for #ClimateEmergency nor COP 26 @AlokSharma_RDG [Source]
• 15 Dec 2020 Proud and relieved to see @sarahjolney1 secure a debate on the @Conservatives changes to the planning process. We need to make sure that carbon reduction is a priority when building new houses so we can reach our net-zero targets! #PlanningDebate https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1338770325522276352/photo/1 [Source]

• 13 Sep 2020 This level of irresponsible climate complacency is one of the biggest reasons I dropped everything and stood in GE 2019. @AlokSharma_RDG ambition as global leader of Climate Summit “seeing what we can do” & “try and put our best foot forward on this” No!!! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/climate-crisis-un-boris-johnson-net-zero-carbon-emissions-deadline-alok-sharma-b421443.html?__twitter_impression=true [Source]

• 30 Aug 2020 @EdDavey firing out of the starting blocks: "Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings...little boys go and play your silly little games, I’m going to have a laser-like focus on the concerns and fears and hopes of the British people.” Social justice, climate change, jobs, housing.. https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1299791438943748096 [Source]
• 28 Aug 2020 I am dismayef @geoffharvey3 especially after @lucyfrazermp claimed at GE hustings to put climate change as a priority, especially supporting local efforts. Yet, not even supporting this Local Electricity Bill which removes disproportionate costs from community energy schemes UGH! https://twitter.com/geoffharvey3/status/1299369423577534464 [Source]
• 25 Aug 2020 @EmmaPery3 @SouthCambs @EmmaDyer76 and @siobhanmellon @Jose_Hales Great collaboration to support zero carbon communities between Grants Advisory Committee & Climate Change & Environment Committee @SouthCambs [Source]
• 23 Aug 2020 @Glostermeteor @MaryRegW I first heard of Ed Davey when I was working internationally on climate change. At the climate change summits, his name was on everyone's lips as one of the most visionary climate leaders & most impactful in terms of laws and policy that changed the face of UK renewables.

• 23 Aug 2020 2/ Ed now has plans for dealing with knottiest of problems driving climate breakdown. He has ways for enabling businesses, Universities, you & I to move pensions & savings away from fossil fuel investment & into green technology, whilst pursuing climate justice & social equality [Source]
• 23 Aug 2020 I've #votedEd. Under his green leadership, we can be the climate change party. Ive seen the evidence. As most impactful Sec of State for Energy & Climate Change, he trebled renewables, slashed energy bills & made UK global leader in offshore wind, creating 250,000 green jobs. https://twitter.com/pippaheylings/status/1297571643456475136/video/1 [Source]
• 29 Jul 2020 The completion of wind turbine installation off Suffolk coast during lockdown!! seals UK's world-leading position as #1 in wind energy generation. This is transformative.

• 02 Jul 2020 Just as polling shows 75% public want a #GreenRecovery & as we push for higher standards in housing construction in support of @UKGBC zero carbon target, the govt's latest planning reforms strips away UK ability to meet climate targets & provide quality homes FOR ALL @LGAcomms https://twitter.com/hanaloftus/status/1278594778217709568 [Source]

• 05 Jun 2020 Is it just me? This is so sexy!! And so relevant. It was quite a shock to find out how much mileage & petrol our refuse fleet devours - a major chunk of our CO2 emissions at the Council. And to be powered by clean green electricity.

• 04 Jun 2020 Exciting indeed. Big Ideas. A greener, fairer and caring vision. @EdwardJDavey won against the Tories on climate change, trebling the UK's renewable power.

• 02 Jun 2020 We have a short window of opportunity as we emerge from lockdown. Govt must put in place measures for Green Recovery. From floods to driest May.
