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:
Isle of Man Medical Society welcomes health review, saying it's 'time to listen to doctors'
MIAA finds health and care model 'not operating as well as originally intended'
