The UK energy secretary Ed Miliband has pledged that the UK will seek a global coalition to push for climate action after a fractious end to UN climate talks in Azerbaijan.
Miliband who played a great role in the $300bn deal for developing countries, branded a ‘betrayal’ by critics, has promised to continue seeking for a better solution for this climate crisis.
“This alliance of high ambition is the world’s centre ground of climate politics and is the best hope for the future. In our work with Brazil, hosts of Cop30, we are seeking to demonstrate this in practice,” he wrote in the Guardian.
Miliband has argued that forging a global coalition to tackle the climate crisis, and providing finance to the poor world, are in the UK’s interest.
“This idea is 100% in Britain’s self-interest,” he told journalists after Cop29. “I think there is a great British tradition of ensuring that we play our part in helping vulnerable countries who are exposed to climate change. Our estimates in the department say that [the $300bn of climate finance by 2035] could help protect up to a billion people [from] some of the effects of climate change and also on mitigation.”
It is heartwarming to see leaders committing to fight for a better and sustainable future. I hope there will be more leaders from all over the globe with such ambitions as we head to COP 30 set to be hosted in Brazil next year.
