NEWS Government to miss targets Ministers urged to declare National Climate Emergency in the UK


Campaigners say the UK will miss almost all of its 2020 nature targets and young people want change.


Work has started near Seagrave to build a new £100 million training ground for Leicester City FC’s Premier League footballers


The site, which is 11 miles from Melton, has been earmarked for 12 full size football pitches, an indoor pitch, a sports hall, a first team and academy training building including 30 bedrooms for players and staff, and a covered show pitch with capacity for 499 spectators. Also planned there will be Europe’s first Sports Turf Academy, for elite level full time training and education of sports managers, greenkeepers, horticulturalists and mechanics.


Leicester’s vice-chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, described the scheme as ‘a once-in-a-generation opportunity’ to make a sizeable, meaningful investment in the club’s long-term future.


Following the appointment of McLaren Construction as the project’s principal contractor, initial preparations and earthworks to transform the 185-acre site are now firmly under way.


A national climate and environment emergency should be declared immediately, the government has been told.


Labour’s shadow environment secretary Sue Hayman challenged ministers to make the announcement, which would see the UK take drastic action on climate change after it emerged that the UK will miss almost all the 2020 nature targets it signed up to a decade ago.


It comes as schoolchildren have been marching in the streets calling for more to be done about climate change and as scores of local authorities pass emergency motions setting early targets for zero carbon.


The so-called Aichi biodiversity targets were set in 2010 by the global Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The joint nature conservation committee (JNCC) found earlier this week that the UK was making insufficient progress on 14 of the 19 targets.


The UK is failing to protect threatened species or end the degradation of land and is not doing enough to reduce agricultural pollution, the report found. It also said the UK is not ending unsustainable fishing or stopping the arrival of invasive alien species.


“We have heard that the UK is on track to meet only five out of the 28 biodiversity targets,” Hayman told ministers from the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, led by environment secretary Michael Gove.


"This is an environmental and climate emergency. So, can I ask, do the ministers and secretary of state agree with the around 50 councils and thousands of young people who have declared an environmental and climate emergency?”


“Will they today to commit to join with Labour in declaring a national environmental and climate emergency?”
