David Cameron and William Hague have rejected a plea from Boris Johnson to head up a major climate change summit, it has emerged.

Boris Johnson has been accused of admitting he “doesn’t really understand” climate change by the woman he sacked as president of COP26.

More than half of all Whitehall departments are failing their own targets to cut the number of flights they use, PoliticsHome can reveal.

Last Autumn, Daniella Dos Santos was appointed President of the British Veterinary Association (BVA). With a diversity focussed agenda for the year ahead, PoliticsHome recently spoke with Daniella to learn more about her plans for her Presidency.

Boris Johnson has been accused of a "failure of global vision and leadership" on climate change amid a bitter row with a sacked former adviser.

We have been a global leader in decarbonising the power sector, but with road transport accounting for around a fifth of all emissions, we must now focus on decarbonsing transport, writes Damian Hinds MP. 

Daniella Dos Santos, President of the BVA, has responded to Daniel Zeichner MP.

Government must set legal targets, fund green transport and invest in air pollution monitoring to combat our toxic air crisis, writes Geraint Davies MP

The Agriculture Bill cannot go forward without safeguards in place to protect British standards, preventing hormone-treated beef or chlorine-washed chicken from coming in and undercutting British farmers, writes Daniel Zeichner MP. 

The Prime Minister has sacked the woman in charge of running the UN climate summit in Glasgow later this year.

If it’s cold for you, it’s cold for your pet – that’s the key message from the British Veterinary Association (BVA) as it urges pet owners to take extra precautions to ensure dogs, cats and other small pets are kept safe from hidden and potentially fatal hazards as snow flurries and icy conditions are forecast in many parts of the country.

Ahead of COP26, we must learn from the successful international diplomacy used to agree The Antarctic Treaty, to tackle the climate crisis, writes James Gray MP. 

The Government should look to revitalise Britain’s role as a world leader in climate diplomacy by supporting industry transition to a net-zero economy, writes Darren Jones MP. 

Tougher sentences on animal cruelty, new laws on animal sentience and a crackdown on the keeping of primates as pets will put us at the forefront of the fight against animal cruelty, writes Andrew Rosindell MP. 

Today, the Woodland Trust launches its ‘Emergency Tree Plan’, setting out its vision for a major increase in tree cover to the 19% recommended by the Climate Change Committee. PoliticsHome recently spoke with Dr James Cooper, Head of External Affairs, to learn more about the proposals for helping tackle the climate and nature crises whilst delivering a range of benefits for people, along with the Trust’s priorities for the year ahead.

The Woodland Trust today publishes its Emergency Tree Plan – the first of its kind and a challenge to governments. It sets out how the UK can rapidly increase tree cover to help reach net zero carbon emissions and tackle the declines in wildlife.
