David Miliband today talks to Guardian Unlimited from the climate change talks in Nairobi to explain why the government wants five-year targets to reduce carbon emissions and to quash claims that his green policy plans are being resisted by the chancellor, Gordon Brown.
Earlier today, the UK environment minister heard Kofi Annan, the UN secretary general, ahead of a series of ministerial talks on pushing forward the international climate change agenda, which conclude this Friday.
Mr Miliband's proud boast is that the UK is seen as a "world leader" in its commitment to tackling climate change on the domestic front. But he says without the international community, individual efforts will be thwarted by the actions of the biggest polluters.
