He condemned political adversaries for spreading misinformation about environmental policies and emphasized the need for a united front in pursuing a sustainable energy future.
Miliband warned that an anti-net zero agenda would risk climate breakdown and forfeit future clean energy jobs, emphasizing the need for a just energy transition.
