Letter from Ed Milliband on Faith and Climate Change

I was recently at a meeting of Ed Milliband, the Minister for Environment and Climate Change, and the leaders of the main faith groups in Britain and their environmental representatives. We all signed a joint statement to encourage the government to take a strong postion at Copenhagen and to actually deliver on the targets they have set. One of the good things going on in politics at the moment is the cross party consensus on the need to do something about climate change. Given the 5 year lifespan of a parliament it is important that all parties are signed up to broadly similar goals when we are discussing issues which cover generations even if there are differences about the detailed implementation. Attached is Ed Milliband's letter in response to that meeting.
