Giorgia Meloni had it right. ‘There is nothing,’ the Italian prime minister said in 2022, ‘more right-wing than ecology. The right loves the environment because it loves the land, the identity, the homeland.’ Like centre-right parties across Europe, Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party is committed to net zero. While Kemi Badenoch was correct in her recent speech to challenge the way we forge a path to clean energy, I hope that the policy commission she has launched will recommend keeping the goal of ending the UK’s contribution to harmful planet warming.
