Former COP26 President to speak at Wiltshire Climate Summit - 14 January, 2021

DK

Since I announced that I would be hosting a virtual conference – the Wiltshire Climate Summit – I’m encouraged that 100 people have already registered to attend.

I’m pleased to confirm that the former President of COP26 (and my predecessor as Devizes MP) Claire Perry-O’Neill will be joining as a speaker at the summit. COP 26 will be held this November in Glasgow and is a hugely significant opportunity for the world’s leaders to review our efforts reduce carbon emissions and support the countries and communities most at risk from the effects of global warming.

Attendance is open to all and I very much hope we will have a stimulating conference with some practical proposals that I can use in Parliament in the run-up to Glasgow. 

Please register using this link. Further details, including the running order for the conference and how we will manage interactive sessions for participants, will follow in due course.

Ours is an overwhelmingly rural constituency. To preserve Wiltshire’s glorious natural landscape - the famous chalk downlands, the prehistoric monuments, Savernake Forest and Salisbury Plain - we need to support the businesses and property owners who manage it.

I had a normal Friday morning, with meetings with constituents to talk about a range of issues affecting them and the wider world, including the energy transition, and local planning. At midday I headed to Tidworth where I was to have the honour of opening the new Early Years Centre.
