Andy Burnham says the old way of working together to fight climate change is gone. He says it is broken. But he also promised a "new era" of leadership at the COP31 climate summit.

Things are not going smoothly for the British government. Recent reports suggest that ministers are choosing not to release a major, explosive report about the climate crisis. This has led to many questions about whether the government is being open about the real risks.

There is also a big conflict happening right now. Burnham is trying to figure out how to lower energy prices for people at home while still hitting goals for "Net Zero." Net Zero means cutting down on pollution until it is as low as we can possibly get it.

Some experts are worried that if Burnham keeps allowing drilling for oil in the North Sea, it will make it impossible for the UK to be a true leader in fighting climate change.

Ed Miliband has been answering questions from the public to try and explain the government's stance. But even with these efforts, the path ahead looks very bumpy. Burnham is currently stuck between wanting to keep power bills cheap and needing to save the environment. People are watching closely to see if his "new era" will actually change anything.
