"It’s good to see Ed Miliband pushing climate change back up the political agenda and recognising that this is an issue that will determine the long-term well-being of our economy and everyone in the country, as well as millions of people living in extreme poverty overseas.
"Joining the global call for a zero carbon world by 2050 is an important step, but for that vision to become a reality we need to rapidly remove the most polluting fuels from our energy system, starting with coal, and give proper backing to the high-tech clean energy industries that can fill the gap and produce jobs and growth.
"The government's climate change advisers have called for our dirty coal power stations to be phased out within the next decade, now leaders of all political parties must commit to making this happen."
