Climate chief Alok Sharma warns: I may quit if new PM dumps net zero pledge
The cabinet minister who led last year’s landmark Cop26 UN climate summit has made a dramatic intervention in the Tory leadership race, suggesting he could resign if the incoming prime minister fails to commit to a strong agenda on the climate crisis.
In an interview with the Observer, Alok Sharma said a total commitment to the net zero agenda from whoever is to lead the country would be essential to avoid “incredible damage” to Britain’s global standing, as well as irreversible harm to the UK and international economies.
“This is absolutely a leadership issue,” Sharma said, accusing some of the candidates of being “lukewarm” on net zero in the contest so far.
“Anyone aspiring to lead our country needs to demonstrate that they take this issue incredibly seriously, that they’re willing to continue to lead and take up the mantle that Boris Johnson started off. I want to see candidates very proactively set out their support for our net zero agenda for green growth.”
His comments came as the UK braced itself for record-breaking temperatures of 40C (104F) over the coming days, while fires raged across large parts of the continent.

The Great work that he has done is recommendable, though quiting won't be the best option. Let him take the bull by its horns ,and fight for climate Justice,because it is worthy it.

@Rentzhog Alok Sharma is not going to COP 27 because he thinks that voting in the Conservative Party leadership elections is more important than the climate crisis.
