Everyone has to do their part to halt climate change - that includes the royal family

Hitting by 2050 is essential to meet our international legal ­obligations and crucial for our economic recovery.

Low growth predicted in the budget means Keir Starmer must redouble his efforts to turn Britain into a clean energy superpower. That will create 650,000 jobs and enable UK businesses to lead in green ­technology. The money which will flow in will benefit all of us.

But that means everyone must do their bit to meet key targets, including . Yet today, fail to come up to minimum energy efficiency standards.

That not only wastes resources but leaves some of the Prince’s Duchy of ­Cornwall tenants with hard-to-heat homes in which damp and mould thrive. It also breaks the law.

Duchy estates earn the Prince of Wales a king’s ransom of more than £20million a year. He should use some of that to properly ­insulate homes he lets out.

We welcome William’s commitment to make his properties net zero by 2032. We back his campaign to end homelessness. But he risks a charge of hypocrisy if he continues to rent out homes which are unfit to live in.

The King is one of the world’s foremost environmental champions. His son must now ensure he follows in his footsteps.

Trump threat

British eyes were focused on yesterday’s Tory leadership election. But there is a more ­important one for all our futures taking place across the Atlantic.

Whoever wins in America on Tuesday will become the leader of the free world.

The winner’s decisions affect us all.

Donald Trump pledges to deport 11 million US residents, mobilise the military against migrants, prosecute women who have ­abortions and end independent law ­enforcement. He might also cave in to Russian despot Vladimir Putin over Ukraine.

Kamala Harris will pay to keep migrants in their home countries, protect abortion rights and stand by Ukraine.

If Trump triumphs, our best hope is he won’t do what he says. If Harris wins, we look forward to her keeping her promises.

Trump claims his biggest mistake in his first presidency was being too nice.

So God help us if the most powerful person on the planet is Mr Nasty.

Fly fisherman

Angling is Britain’s most popular ­participation sport. But because firms such as Thames Water pump out raw sewage, our waters are no longer fresh.

It is the very reason the company’s boss and keen fisherman Chris Weston flew to ­Argentina to find unpolluted waters.

Which surely makes Mr Weston the one that really got away.
