Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, took part in a public rally in Manchester on Tuesday 8 December. This event was jointly hosted by DECC and Manchester Friends of the Earth and was Ed Miliband’s last event before he travels to Copenhagen.
The event began with short contributions from invited guests including Mike Childs from Friends of the Earth, and Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council, who used the opportunity to launch the city’s stakeholder climate change action plan, “Manchester: A Certain Future”.
There was then be an opportunity for participants to take part in a lengthy Q & A session with Ed Miliband and the other speakers.
