WWF: Comment on UK/China joint statement on climate change
18 Jun 2014 10:48 AM
Commenting on the joint statement by the UK and
China on climate change released yesterday, Ben Stafford, Head of Public
Affairs at WWF-UK, said: “The UK has the diplomatic muscle to help build
a consensus on an ambitious global deal on climate change that includes big
players like China and the USA, but that won’t happen unless political
leaders at the highest level get stuck in. Today’s joint summit was a
step in the right direction.
“The next step is for the Prime Minister to join
other world leaders at the UN Secretary General’s climate summit in
September and demonstrate that climate change is as big a priority for him, and
the UK, as it was when he became party leader.”
