Greenpeace media briefing: Climate Change Committee Report “Building a low-carbon economy – the UK Innovation Challenge”

Publication date: 19 July, 2010

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) published a report on low-carbon innovation in the United Kingdom. The report follows Friday's announcement that DECC is to cut £34 million from its low-carbon funding – around 18% of DECC’s existing funding. The cuts include a £3 million reduction in the budget of the Offshore Wind Capital Grants Scheme - one of the technologies that the committee identifies as hugely important for Britain’s low carbon industrial future. This briefing outlines the Committee's suggestions.

As if using a large fluorescent pen to highlight the reason why our volunteers were sitting up on top of the Palace of Westminster, on Monday the Climate Change Committee (CCC) released its first annual report on the government's progress in meeting its own emissions targets.

Not everything in the report chimes with what we think is required (there's no room or need for nuclear power, for instance) but what comes through loud and clear is the scale of the challenge and the radical action required to meet it. Our climate manifesto is exactly the sort of thing needed to deliver it.
