These two areas are inextricably linked. At a time when we see the breakdown of the Kyoto accord and ever threatening scientific data on global warning, it is clear we need to work with the third world not against it. The need for a world solution for this world problem has never been more evident. Our Manifesto has green policies in every section which are clearly set out. This is not merely symbolic of the importance which Liberal Democrats attach to environmental issues, it also delivers practical steps to achieving sustainability for our planet.
Environmental issues can no longer be a footnote to the political agenda.
They are now mainstream.
