The Conservative manifesto may be light on the wellbeing aims of the pledge, although it does include a promise to ensure the UK reaches carbon net zero by 2050 through investment in clean energy and green infrastructure.
Johnson told us: “I applaud The Big Issue for raising these critical issues, which are about the future of our children and grandchildren.
“A Conservative majority government led by me will be dedicated to tackling the climate emergency, reaching Net Zero by 2050 with investment in clean energy and green infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions.
“We’ll give people a route out of poverty by putting in place the right education and work opportunities, creating more jobs and levelling up skills across the country.
“We’ll give the next generation the chance to make a better life for themselves, investing in housing, infrastructure and local communities in every part of the United Kingdom.
“None of these issues will be fixed if we have another hung parliament and more paralysis in Westminster over Brexit. If there’s a Conservative majority government, we’ll get Brexit done by the end of January, so we can move on and dedicate our energies to these vital tasks.”
