At Durban, the focus of much attention will be on Africa, where many countries stand on the front line of the impacts of climate change. I will be announcing there a package for Africa. Our package for Africa will deliver very significant UK funding.
The biggest question mark to me about today’s statement is that the costs are more certain than the benefits There is a real sense of 'jam tomorrow’ in Chris Huhne’s announcement today. The fact is that the UK is on the brink of an affordability crisis when it comes to household energy
A global deal may be out of reach today, but we must provide a signal that it is our objective ... That is absolutely crucial.
It’s crucial that the UK fights for progress at the climate change talks. And that’s much more likely to happen if Chris Huhne is feeling under pressure from us before he leaves
This big injection of government funding delivers on our promise to ensure the Green Deal hits the ground running, and make it as attractive as possible so that people start to benefit from day one.
There is no question of a conflict of interest as Chris Huhne understands Carina Trimingham does not intend to accept any work that touches on his departmental responsibilities.
This [treaty] has to be biting on the problem by 2020.
I understand why people think it is taking a lot of time but the way in which we get material from journalists is an important principle, quite separate from the Chris Huhne case.

We have to be guided by science. Emissions have to peak and then come down by 2020 if we have a realistic chance of holding the 2 degree Celsius (temperature rise) limit
The key thing is to have a deal to reduce emissions by 2020. As long as it is operating by then, that's fine
Only the private sector can deliver private investment and innovation at the scale we need ... New products and technologies must make their way to market.
Only a comprehensive, legally binding agreement for all can provide the clarity we need ... Businesses want certainty; people want action. Only the politics lags behind.
We will secure our energy at the lowest cost: in the short term by promoting competition. In the medium term, by insulating our homes. And in the long term by steering us away from excessive reliance on fossil fuels and onto clean, green and secure energy
