5 Must-Have Dishes On Eid
Zac Goldsmith
Zac Goldsmith resigned from the cabinet on Friday, accusing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of being ‘uninterested’ in the environmental brief.
A member of parliament’s upper house and Minister of State for Overseas Territories, Commonwealth, Energy, Climate and Environment, Zac Goldsmith said, “The problem is not that the government is hostile to the environment, it is that you, our Prime Minister, are simply uninterested”.
According to his resignation letter, Britain had visibly stepped off the world stage and withdrawn its leadership on climate and nature.
Zac Goldsmith tweeted, “It has been a privilege to have been able to make a difference to a cause I have been committed to for as long as I remember. But this govt’s apathy in the face of the greatest challenge we face makes continuing in my role untenable. Reluctantly I am therefore stepping down”, through his official Twitter handle.
This is consistent with a report released earlier this week by the government’s climate experts, which stated that Britain had lost its position as a global leader in climate action and was not doing enough to fulfill its mid-century net-zero targets.
