“I am very worried about the risk of escalation, and this breaking into a wider regional conflict,” he said as Britain announced it was deploying military units to Cyprus to assist with any evacuation of its citizens from Lebanon.
On the sidelines of the UN’s flagship annual gathering, Lammy attended an environment event at Central Park Zoo ahead of the UN Biodiversity Conference in Colombia later this year.
“This is the moment to step up in relation to the climate emergency. It was a huge mistake of (the last British government) not to come to climate week here at the UN last year,” Lammy said.
“We are determined to get back UK leadership, not just on our own behalf, but on behalf of the planet.”
