CBI warnings over government's 'mixed messages' on environment
Juliet Davenport is the Chief Executive of the UK renewable energy company Good Energy. She founded the company in 1999 to deliver solutions to climate change. She comments on CBI warnings over the Goverment's 'mixed messages' on environment. She said: "World leaders in Paris need to come up with a cohesive approach to deal with the threat of climate change, it’s never been more urgent. It’s simple maths: we can’t emit 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide and stay below two degrees of warming. Things have to change."
Davenport continued: "With a record-breaking 22% of the UK's electricity coming from renewable sources at the start of 2015, Britain has seen significant strides in the right direction. However, recent changes in policy feel like a backwards step and there is a need for a clear policy framework for the future to ensure that businesses are able to play a their role in delivering solutions."
