Context by Compass

The debate on June 4 between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer did indeed cover climate change, with both leaders presenting their respective climate policies. Sunak expressed concerns about the costs of deploying clean technologies, suggesting it would burden households financially, while Starmer emphasized Labour's commitment to investing in renewable energy and addressing energy security. This exchange was confirmed by multiple sources, including Business Green and Global Witness. The debate highlighted the ongoing political and public discourse around climate change, reflecting broader societal concerns about the balance between environmental policies and economic impacts. Therefore, the claim that climate change was discussed in the debate is accurate.
