Environment Minister Boot on emergency declaration
We are ahead of our neighbours.
That's the claim of Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot, after government declared a climate change emergency last Friday morning.
Mr Boot believes claims we are lagging behind other jurisdictions like Jersey, which declared an emergency at the beginning of May, are simply untrue.
He says the Isle of Man, with its UNESCO biosphere status, is ahead of the game in terms of steps already taken:
Chris Thomas is a departure from his 'autocratic' predecessors, says infrastructure minister
Jason Moorhouse says chief is taking a collective approach to his leadership style
Island housing issues an 'injustice' for young people says expert
Chris Lee has launched a new rent-to-buy scheme in the hopes of helping to remove obstacles
'Community minded people' encouraged to stand for local authority
Local authority is one of a few needing by-elections to fill vacant seats
