Acting Presiding Officer, I want to re-emphasise the fact that measures tackling the climate emergency also have to tackle poverty. Unless everyone has the same means to make the necessary changes, we will never make progress, and this is linked to my point at the beginning of my contribution about ensuring that society now changes its culture to one that emphasises benefit to communities.

I've mentioned a number of examples in the past as to why people who live in poverty can't make changes in a green context, but another area I haven't mentioned is electricity. Customers are certainly facing additional costs in trying to be more eco-friendly. For example, if you go to MoneySavingExpert.com to find a renewable energy tariff, there is only one supplier, Green Energy (UK), available. The cost will be almost £500 per annum more than the cap on standard tariffs over the next 12 months. Further to that, according to the Express, shoppers who try to change to green options for everyday home products can spend up to an additional £2,000 per annum, ultimately. Although the option of providing subsidies for green options and green energy can help, this only scratches the surface, and that's why it's crucially important that we deal with poverty at the very outset.
