The Green Party has responded to the revelation the Government tried to bury its own climate change report [1]. The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment Report warns of significant risk to food supplies, deaths during heatwaves doubling and infrastructure damage due to flooding.
Jonathan Bartley, Green Party co-leader, said:
“It’s astounding the Government appears to have tried to bury its own climate change report. Climate change is the single biggest threat we face. The effects predicted by the report aren’t minor inconveniences – people’s lives are in danger. It’s hugely alarming the Government is sweeping its own warnings under the rug and failing to provide leadership.
“The report was quietly published on January 18, the exact same day experts confirmed 2016 was the hottest year on record [2]. The evidence is overwhelming and the Government should be responding to this report and tackling climate change head on by backing a renewable energy revolution. There is simply no excuse for inaction.”

The Marine Management Organisation has announced a new series of marine planning workshops for the north east, north west, south east and south west marine plan areas.
The workshops are part of the next step in the development of the marine plans, which will formally start in February 2017, with the launch of a questionnaire.
This is an important stage in the first year of marine planning for these marine plan areas, providing the opportunity to see how the issues and evidence gathered as part of last summer’s call are being taken forward.
The workshops will discuss the issues and evidence database in more detail and examine what policies are needed to address the economic, social, environmental and governance issues in each marine plan area. The workshops will discuss potential policies in greater detail, feeding into the process for the next stage of plan development.
In addition the workshops will review the proposed new format for the marine plans, which is more interactive, linking to our Marine Information System (MIS), and understand more about how stakeholders expect to use the marine plans.
The workshops will be taking place in February and March at the following locations and times:
Tickets for the workshops are available via Eventbrite. An agenda will be available in early February.
Evening drop-in sessions
We will also be holding two evening drop in sessions in the north east and south west for those who can’t attend these area’s workshops:
These events will include a presentation on the north east and south west marine plan areas respectively, which will run at 5pm and 6pm.

Dave Anderson MP, Labour’s Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary, commenting on
reports of the shooting of a police officer in Belfast, said:
“This attack is deeply concerning; our thoughts are with the
injured officer.
“This is a stark reminder of the danger all PSNI officers face
every day when performing their duties. We cannot let those who wish to take
Northern Ireland back to its painful and violent past succeed.“
