Carla Denyer, co-leader of the Greens, plans to step back from her leadership role to focus on her Bristol constituency and advocate for worker-centered net zero policies. She intends to introduce a private member's bill aimed at ensuring just transitions to net zero, pushing back against Reform UKâs narrative that climate actions would harm ordinary people. Denyer expresses concern over the Labour government's inconsistency on climate commitments and emphasizes the Greens' role in holding the government accountable for effective climate and industrial strategies.
At a time like this, when Reform are unfortunately managing to sell the lie that tackling climate change is somehow going to be bad for ordinary people, it's really important that we Greens challenge that.
My worry at the moment is that the government are sort of lurching from crisis to crisis on this.
One of the real responsibilities and opportunities of having four Green MPs in parliament is that we can hold the government to account on climate and nature policies.
Her bill will set out that net zero plans must be agreed with workers, and that every UK-listed company in the oil and gas industries must come up with a transition plan.
