In the House of Commons, Nickie Aiken, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, spoke out on the climate crisis with the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak MP.
Nickie explained that the climate change crisis affects us all but developing countries feel the brunt. Nickie made the case that this is why the UK and its European partners must work together to support those across the world so no one is forced to leave their homes due to the devastating impact of global warming.
Speaking in the Chamber, Nickie said,
"I thank the Prime Minister for his statement on COP27 and in particular for highlighting his discussions on migration with other European leaders. Does he agree with me that if we are to sort out the migration crisis, we must all work together to help developing countries with their climate change challenges, so that we can also deal with the migration crisis?"
Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak MP, replied,
"My hon. Friend makes a good point. I was pleased to discuss the migration issue with several European leaders in particular, because we cannot solve this problem alone. As she said, it is far better to solve it at source before it arrives on our shores. That is the approach we are going to take."
