Mary Creagh MP at IPBES12, Manchester

Mary Creagh MP, Minister for Nature, attended the IPBES12 event in Manchester this week.

Whilst there, Minister Creagh gave a lecture titled ‘Nature at the Heart of Economic Resilience’, sponsored by Aviva. Minister Creagh spoke about the role that nature plays in creating a lasting and growing economy, and how that role should be encouraged.

She also visited the Suez Renew Hub - a project that “aims to reclaim the value of household items through repair and upcycling, moving items up the waste hierarchy from disposal to re-use.”

Whilst in Manchester, she canvassed with Emma Reynolds MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Labour Party candidate for the Gorton-and-Denton byelection, Angeliki Stogia.
