Great piece by Gordon Brown on the upcoming COP30 climate meeting.

Showing again he knows exactly what needs to be done with a 5 point plan for a more ambitious declaration under consideration in Belém.

He also points out that Starmer & Miliband ARE leading in this area and others must follow.
World leaders, remember that future generations will judge you. At Cop30, you can define how | Gordon Brown

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.
