Danh ngôn của Ed Davey (Sứ mệnh: 3)

The U.K. has been at the forefront of developing the climate change policy architecture that can ensure climate action is integrated into economic decision making.
We have been developing an ever closer relationship with China on climate change for many years which has led to collaboration on carbon trading, offshore wind development, on low-carbon buildings, on nuclear energy, and on carbon capture and storage - to name just some of the ways in which we're working together.
Climate change is putting pressures on the resources we need to survive: water; agricultural land; food.
Britain needs a diverse energy mix - home grown renewables, new nuclear, a switch from dirty coal to cleaner gas, and, when the technology is ready, carbon capture and storage. Diversity will keep the lights on and ensure we go green at the lowest possible cost.
Brexiteers often hark back to the blitz. Maybe they think the 'Britain standing alone' motif adds much-needed heroic purpose to a Brexit future in which Britain stands without trading partners or allies to tackle climate change.
What's most disappointing about May's failure on climate change is that Britain played such a pivotal role in securing international agreement on it in the first place.
If we can speed up the deployment of clean energy technologies in developing countries with investments from the Green Climate Fund, hundreds of millions of people will be able to access electricity for the first time - with all the education, health, communication and entrepreneurial opportunities electricity enables.
My dad had died when I was four, so after my mum passed away, it was her parents - my amazing Nanna and Grandad - who took me in.
Whenever there's a big national event that brings the country together - whether it's the Olympics, a royal wedding or the 'Bake Off' final - there are inevitably a few contrarian voices speaking out against it.
