Ed Miliband has criticized the former Conservative government for failing to engage China on climate issues during a visit to Beijing to initiate climate discussions. This marks the first formal UK-China climate meeting since 2017 and establishes a new annual dialogue aimed at enhancing cooperation on energy transitions and clean energy strategies. Miliband asserts that this dialogue will also help Britain reclaim its role as a climate leader before the upcoming Cop30 summit in Brazil, while avoiding specific comments on sensitive topics such as human rights within China's energy transition.
The dialogue is an essential start to putting an end to what I call the previous strategy of negligence, Miliband said. He said the new annual summit represented a strategy of committed engagement.
Miliband stressed that the world is way off track from where we need to be before the Cop30 UN climate summit in Brazil in November.
