In-conversation with the Climate Minister

Earlier this week we welcomed the 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗣, for an in-conversation event on progress towards net zero and the importance of cross-party consensus on climate and nature.

Thank you to 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘁 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼, for joining the discussion and taking questions from Peers alongside the Climate Minister.

The evening ended with a reception, where we raised a glass to Lynette Huntley's time as Director of Peers for the Planet.

The Minister led the tributes to our founding Director, whose leadership has shaped the organisation in so many ways, saying:

“𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵 - 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵, 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘹 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”
