Labour’s David Lammy visits Brazil to build ‘climate justice’ partnership

Shadow foreign secretary says Starmer government would work with President Lula on radical climate action

The shadow foreign secretary, David Lammy, has taken his green diplomatic policy for a test spin in Brazil this month in the hope that climate justice" can serve as an international rallying cry for a future Labour government.

In an interview with the Guardian, Lammy said a Labour victory at the next general election would allow Keir Starmer to build a partnership for radical climate action with Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, before the UN's Cop30 climate summit in Belem in 2025.
