The Guardian reported that Milburn’s review is examining how to address the growing number of young people classified as not in education, employment or training. At the opening of today’s COP31 summit, Andy Burnham said, “Britain is back and ready to play its full part.” The UK prime minister highlighted domestic clean‑energy projects such as windfarms and electrified steel factories, stressed the need to keep the transition affordable, and announced the appointment of Madeleine Alessandri as the country’s first special representative for climate security.
Why it matters
The review could shape future welfare policy for young people, while the new climate security role signals a broader governmental focus on environmental and security challenges.
