Carney, who became leader of the Liberals and prime minister in early March, has a long track record as an international champion of climate change.As well as being a governor of the Bank of England, he was a UN Special Envoy on climate action and finance and was co-chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, one of the big outcomes of COP26.

However, his first action as prime minister was to repeal the consumer carbon levy.The tax - a signature climate policy of the governing Liberals - was introduced in 2019, and placed an added charge on consumers using coal, oil or gas products.It was unpopular, and for the Conservatives it became an easy target of blame for the rising cost of living in recent years.

"I think there's a missed opportunity here to set a new narrative framework around this in the election."
