🌍 NEW BLOG: Reflections from Belem: Why Multilateralism Still Matters We're pleased to share this reflection from Alex Chitty from, exploring what it means to negotiate climate action when almost every country in the world has a seat at the table.

Ed Miliband painted a bleak picture of climate change impacts at this morning's cabinet. "Climate change is a threat to national security & growth, given [it] could force more than 200m people globally to migrate, the global economy could be 19% smaller in 2049 than it would be otherwise & it could put an additional 600,000 people in UK at risk of flooding." Very clear dividing line with Tories given Kemi Badenoch has suggested she wants to delay/ scrap UK's net zero targets.

The US cover of the Inflation Reduction Act the inspiration and cover for borrowing-fuelled green investment spend has now gone. Vanished. Cast as politically toxic. R politicians cited it as pushing up inflation which undermined the D campaign Labour politicians loved pointing US example. Makes Miliband’s argument a lot harder

There's been some changes to timings and locations for some of LCEF's Events at Conference, including our Reception with Ed Miliband - please do see below for an updated schedule.
