Climate Group, has responded to today’s budget by calling on the UK government to give more long-term clarity on green policies and spending so that businesses can make investment decisions with certainty.
Champa Patel, Executive Director of Governments and Policy at Climate Group, said:
"Another budget, another failure to address the huge range of climate issues we face. While the world is literally heating up, the UK's response is simply to edge forward on investment for green growth and nuclear and keep investing in oil and gas.
"We are missing a much-needed push on renewables, EVs and energy efficiency, where other countries are leaving us far behind. The UK is tinkering around the edges, when its companies need long term clarity and direction to invest with confidence in climate solutions and economic growth. We are seriously wondering when the UK realise that - and budget for it.”
