Responding to the Committee on Climate Change’s review of fourth carbon budget, which found that there is no legal or economic basis to change the budget, Greenpeace Policy Director Doug Parr said:

“The CCC reminds us that tackling climate change is as urgent as ever, and other countries are getting ahead in the global green race with low carbon solutions. But here in the UK, the Treasury persists with its scientifically illiterate campaign to unravel domestic climate policy.

"The Climate Change Act was a ground-breaking attempt to take meaningful action on greenhouse gas emissions and the Lib Dems must not allow it to be compromised with a watered down 4th carbon budget.”
