UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been speaking at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey.

Burnham pledged a “new era of British leadership” on climate, saying the “consensus we once enjoyed” on the issue had gone and the “reality” is global temperatures will reach 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

The UK PM is the only G7 leader to attend this year and said the UK government was committed to its 2050 net zero target.
