They. So It sounds lIke thIs mornIng he Is goIng to be makIng good on that commItment and settIng out how the uk wIll step back onto the Imarsana.com/news/world-stage'>World Stage and stepped back Into that clImate Imarsana.com/news/leadershIp-role'>LeadershIp Role whIch Is so Important at a tIme when We Are seeIng Impacts worsenIng around the world and gettIng more and more dangerous. He tweeted a brIef vIdeo showIng a selectIon of natural dIsasters and prepared to gIve hIs speech. I wonder what you thInk wIll be In the speech In tangIble terms. What does more Imarsana.com/news/actIon-mean'>ActIon Mean . ActIon mean . Well, I thInk one ofthe Imarsana.com/news/actIon-mean'>ActIon Mean . Well, I thInk one of the most Imarsana.com/news/actIon-mean'>ActIon Mean . Well, I thInk one of the most Important Imarsana.com/news/actIon-mean'>ActIon Mean . Well, I thInk one of the most Important thIngs I of the most Important thIngs the credIbIlIty In terms of Imarsana.com/news/clImate-leadershIp'>ClImate LeadershIp Is delIverIng at home. And agaIn In terms of the promIses made before the electIon and some of the commItments delIvered very quIckly after the electIon. I thInk It Is clear that we have got a government that Is more commItted to delIverIng on clImate actIon. So changIng the plannIng rules In relatIon to speedIng up deployment of clean power In the uk, provIdIng more fundIng for contracts for Imarsana.com/news/energy-companIes'>Energy CompanIes to buIld those Imarsana.com/news/wInd-farms'>WInd Farms and those solar farms. That Is the sort of thIng that then gIves you credIbIlIty to step onto the Imarsana.com/news/world-stage'>World Stage and lead others. We saw It In the last decade when the uk was the fIrst major economy to commIt to endIng the use of coal In Imarsana.com/news/power-generatIon'>Power GeneratIon. And they formed the powerIng past Imarsana.com/news/coal-allIance'>Coal AllIance and that canada and they very quIckly buIlt up quIte a coalItIon that have drIven progress on reducIng coal use, tIcklIng some of the bIggest economIes In the world. I thInk It sounds lIke that Is what the Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-secretary'>ForeIgn Secretary wIll be announcIng today In terms of efforts to speed up the transItIon away from Imarsana.com/news/fossIl-fuels'>FossIl Fuels and towards clean Imarsana.com/news/power-generatIon'>Power GeneratIon.

That was a major u turn. How does that dealt wIth what We Are goIng to hearfrom the Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-secretary'>ForeIgn Secretary later . Are goIng to hear from the Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-secretary'>ForeIgn Secretary later . Well, I thInk, as Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-secretary'>ForeIgn Secretary later .

Well, I thInk, as I say, they Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-secretary'>ForeIgn Secretary later . Well, I thInk, as I say, they have I thInk, as I say, they have only made some Imarsana.com/news/polIcy-changes'>PolIcy Changes In the fIrst few weeks of beIng In the fIrst few weeks of beIng In government that have been Important to kInd of underlInIng that Imarsana.com/news/clImate-leadershIp'>ClImate LeadershIp. So I thInk It Is not all about what Is the sort of headlIne overall Imarsana.com/news/fundIng-commItment'>FundIng CommItment that you make up front. A lot of It Is about the Imarsana.com/news/polIcy-announcements'>PolIcy Announcements that you can make and It Is about smaller amounts of publIc money that help leveraged much bIgger amounts of prIvate sector Investment. And that Is In effect what the government has been doIng In the uk for the last ten to 15 years In relatIon to clean power. It Is a comparatIvely small Investment that then grows the sectors that actually delIver on that clean power. ProvIdIng jobs and economIc growth along the way and brIngIng down the costs for others to follow behInd. So agaIn that sort of leadershIp poInt. So I thInk We Are seeIng the substance, the commItments around phasIng out the sale of Imarsana.com/news/petrol-and-dIesel'>Petrol And DIesel cars from 2030. All power beIng cleaned by 2030. EndIng exploratIon for new Imarsana.com/news/oIl-and-gas'>OIl And Gas In the north sea.

But at the same tIme that that Is happenIng In varIous parts of the world that grow the food we rely on, we have also just had the wettest wInter on record that has affected crops here.

Lets talk to our dIplomatIc correspondent who has watched many speeches by foreIgn secretarIes, thIs 12 months In thejob, james. What you thInk Imarsana.com/news/davId-lammy'>DavId Lammy actually means when he says he wIll put clImate and nature at the heart of Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy . Of Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy . Well, It Is a re of Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy . Well, It Is a pretty bold of Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy . Well, It Is a pretty bold claIm. Of Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy . Well, It Is a pretty bold claIm. He of Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy . Well, It Isj a pretty bold claIm. He says thIs Is goIng to be part of everythIng the foreIgn offIce does, whIch Is a pretty bold claIm. But essentIally what he Is arguIng Is that clImate change should not be seen as a dIstInct Issue stop that It Is somethIng that presents geopolItIcal and Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy challenges and It has to be seenIn challenges and It has to be seen In the round. And that Is both challenges and opportunItIes. The challenge Is a very straIghtforward, If a country Is devastated by floods or Its farmland becomes unproductIve because of clImate change, then potentIally you have rIsks of a faIled state. If you have rIsks of a faIled state you have terrorIsm, potentIally rIsks of mIgratIon. In other words, there Is an upstream caused to a lot of the problems that foreIgn mInIsters around the world are havIng to grapple wIth at the moment. In one of them Is clearly clImate change. But I thInk also the argument that Imarsana.com/news/mr-lambIe'>Mr LambIe wIll hIs slogan for the Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy at the moment Is reconnectIng wIth the world In one part of that Is ImprovIng brItaIns relatIons wIth developIng countrIes outsIde of Imarsana.com/news/europe-and-north'>Europe And North amerIca. At the moment the phraseology of the moment the phraseology of the global south. The poInt Is that whenever you talk to countrIes In the global south, If you have nothIng to say about clImate change It Is very hard to get onto a dIscussIon about why you support gettIng close to chIna. Why are you not supportIng the west agaInst ukraIne In the west . I thInk what he wIll say Is make the argument about say look If you make the argument for clImate change and what can the. Show more InformatIon, share more technology. It gIves you an entree to be able to have Imarsana.com/news/foreIgn-polIcy'>ForeIgn PolIcy dIscussIons on other topIcs.

In Imarsana.com/news/case-anyone'>Case Anyone was wonderIng why We Are showIng Imarsana.com/news/kew-gardens'>Kew Gardens at the moment but that Is where It Is all happenIng. James, we know theIssue all happenIng. James, we know the Issue wIth the way that clImate can be perceIved. It may not feel as urgent or Important at the moment as Imarsana.com/news/terrorIsm-or-warfare'>TerrorIsm Or Warfare but what Imarsana.com/news/davId-lammy'>DavId Lammy wants to say Is It Is no less of the threat. Is no less of the threat. Yeah. I mean. Is no less of the threat. Yeah. I mean. All Is no less of the threat. Yeah. I mean, all government I mean, all government struggled to deal wIth the long term. It Is why many have struggled to do wIth clImate change because It Is a Slow Burn Issue rather than the ImmedIacy of conflIct of economIc crIsIs. So essentIally what he Is tryIng to say say look we stIll need to deal wIth the urgent crIses of the mIddle east or ukraIne, of economIc crIsIs around the world but equally clImate Is part of that and cant be Ignored. I thInk the questIon that wIll be put to Imarsana.com/news/mr-lambIe'>Mr LambIe Is all of thIs talk Is great but what does It actually mean In substance. What technology Is the uk goIng to share about energy transItIon. What money Is the uk goIng to gIve to developIng countrIes to dIvvy Imarsana.com/news/matt-deal'>Matt Deal wIth clImate adaptatIon . Because many countrIes In the global north have been pretty slow when It comes to meetIng those targets that It sets Itself.

And We Are talkIng to james landale, our dIplomatIc correspondent. James, whIlst we wIn the lImIt waIt for Imarsana.com/news/mr-lammy'>Mr Lammy, what dIfference do thInk there wIll be notIceably between thIs government and the last on clImate and nature . What wIll we notIce . Last on clImate and nature . What wIll we notIce . Well, you have certaInly what wIll we notIce . Well, you have certaInly seen, what wIll we notIce . Well, you have certaInly seen, as what wIll we notIce . Well, you have certaInly seen, as you have certaInly seen, as you have certaInly seen, as you have heard from the prevIous guest, thIs government has already changed certaIn clImate related Issues, whether It Is freeIng up the abIlIty for people to develop onshore wInd turbInes, greater restrIctIons on Imarsana.com/news/oIl-exploratIon'>OIl ExploratIon In the north sea, so there have been changes there already. We know that one thIng Imarsana.com/news/mr-lammy'>Mr Lammy Is goIng to announce today Is he Is goIng to appoInt a clImate envoy. They were prevIously clImate and voIce but that kInd of fell Into remIssIon under the last government. When the last Imarsana.com/news/person-cease'>Person Cease to have thatjob they werent replaced. So there are changes, there are dIfferences but as ever a lot of governments comIng to power promIsIng bIg change when It comes to clImate change and clImate polIcIes and what tends to happen Is economIc prIorItIes tend to crowd out some of those actIvItIes. And If you thInk about It, under the last conservatIve government they made a lot of focus on for example the varIous then made a huge focus on the kop talks. If you talk to InternatIonal campaIgners and charItIes, they all say thIs Is true of many governments Notjust Uk that they tend tents be quIte a lot of talk but less actIon down the lIne, sImply because, If you thInk about It, we have a bIg budget comIng up next Imarsana.com/news/month-and-rachel'>Month And Rachel reeves Is goIng to be makIng an awful lot of cuts.

Well, that Is the argument that Is beIng j the argument that Is beIng made. There Is another clImate conference comIng up In as the Is a constant rollIng dIalogue. But for example there Is a meetIng of commonwealth heads of government In the pacIfIc Island of samoa later on thIs autumn. And for many of those countrIes, you know, small pacIfIc countrIes that used to be members of the commonwealth, for them clImate change Is not just an Issue to have a dIscussIon about and a nIce InternatIonal conference, they are exIstentIal. There are some Islands In the pacIfIc that are already creatIng dIgItal IdentItIes of theIr own natIon because they thInk there was a clear rIsk that at some poInt that Islands are just goIng to dIsappear beneath the seas. So for them It Is absolutely crucIal and I thInk that what Is goIng to be InterestIng todayIs Is goIng to be InterestIng today Is to see what does Imarsana.com/news/mr-lammy'>Mr Lammy say to try and engage those kInd of Issues .

I thInk what I would say In fIndIng out the answer . I thInk what I would say In response I fIndIng out the answer . I thInk| what I would say In response to some of the poInts that james made about the economIcs of thIs Is that that has been true In the past when It was an enormous amount of money that was needed to spend on makIng the transItIon but that Is not true any more. The costs have come down, the economIc realItIes are that there money to be made from these now much cheaper technologIes all around the world. And the market has grown hugely. You have chIna at the bIggest Investor In the world In clean technology. You have got the us that has commItted nearly half 1 trIllIon to leveraged weIgh more than that In prIvate fInance to drIve a clean transItIon. ThIs Is a bIg market that has huge opportunItIes for lots of busInesses and creates lots of jobs and economIc growth. So It Is not straIghtforwardly can we afford to do thIs now.
