We want to encourage foreign students to come to our universities - to study, research and teach.

Britain must be the champion of international law.

Solar power - the costs have dramatically fallen, far faster than anyone has speculated. It's probably one of the greatest steps forward in human history.

Well, there's always risk in long-term investment.

Home-produced energy enhances our energy security and boosts the economy.

As a carer for my disabled son, I understand just how hard caring is, at the best of times. I know how important it is for families to get the support they need.

I'm proud to have led the brokering of the ambitious 2030 climate package in the European Union to cut greenhouse gases by at least 40%, which puts the E.U. ahead of the global pack in terms of commitments.

We have been developing an ever closer relationship with China on climate change for many years which has led to collaboration on carbon trading, offshore wind development, on low-carbon buildings, on nuclear energy, and on carbon capture and storage - to name just some of the ways in which we're working together.

Alongside energy efficiency, renewables and abatement, I believe safe nuclear power, with manageable waste, can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as long as it is cost competitive with other low carbon generation.

Putting Michael Gove in charge of the Department of the Environment is much like putting a wolf in charge of the chicken coop.

One of the most exciting opportunities created by renewable energy technologies like solar is the ability to help the world's poorest develop faster - but more sustainably too.

Not having a roof over your head at night must be frightening, cold, lonely and depressing. To be seriously ill as well must be beyond upsetting.

Climate change is hugely threatening to our way of life, in the U.K., Europe and the world.

My dad had died when I was four, so after my mum passed away, it was her parents - my amazing Nanna and Grandad - who took me in.

Brits, Indians, Frenchmen and Belgians fought side by side in the trenches of the Somme and on the fields of Ypres.

Nuclear represents a significant low-carbon opportunity. The electricity it produces is green and reliable.

For Liberal Democrats, the political choice between the hard Brexit menus offered by Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt might seem about as tempting as arsenic verses strychnine.

We must face up to the long-term failures of Britain's approach to immigration and make the argument for an effective, compassionate and liberal alternative.

The very idea that human beings are held in bondage is sickening.

My grandfather was like a father figure to me.

We need to invest in home-grown clean energy that will bring cheaper prices in the long run, shielding consumers from volatile international fossil fuel markets.

By leading on a strong emissions reduction target, the U.K. is persuading others on the need for member states to have the freedom and flexibility to develop their own energy mix to achieve these ambitious reductions.

For me, the most ironic aspect of the Brexit debate has been right-wing Brexiteers speaking loftily about parliamentary sovereignty, when they have never backed MPs having a fuller involvement in how our country is run.

Climate change is putting pressures on the resources we need to survive: water; agricultural land; food.

When I was energy and climate change secretary I sat around a cabinet table with Gove, and he couldn't help playing to the Tory climate-sceptic audience. As education secretary, he tried to ban climate change from the geography curriculum. After an angry exchange of letters with me, he eventually backed down.
