Robert Largan MP has joined hundreds of thousands of people up and down the country proudly wearing green hearts to show that they want to protect the people, places and lives they love from climate change.

Last year the UK was the first major economy to set a net zero emissions target, committing to ending our contribution to climate change within a generation.
 
The High Peak MP wore the heart, sent by a local constituent, as part of The Climate Coalition's ‘Show The Love’ campaign, which celebrates things that could be lost without efforts to tackle climate change—from beaches to bees and cricket to coffee.
 
A report released from the Coalition warned that a population the size of Birmingham and Manchester combined face significant flood risk. It comes at a time when we have just seen flooding caused by extreme weather and the report points out that climate change has made extreme rainfall in the UK 40 per cent more likely. 
 
The Climate Coalition is made up of more than 140 organisations representing more than 22 million people, ranging from aid agencies such as CAFOD and Christian Aid to groups such as the Women’s Institute, WWF, RSPB, and the National Trust.
 
Robert Largan MP said:
 
“We can see clearly the impact of climate change on our doorsteps, and we must put policies in place to get on track to reaching our legally-binding net zero target.
 
“I’m proud to be wearing my green heart and supporting policies that make our country fit for the future, and being cleaner and greener to end our contribution to climate change. I want High Peak to be part of leaving a legacy for future generations that we can all be proud of.”
