Stephen Tindale, Greenpeace UK Executive Director on whether the Conservatives will emerge as champions of the environment


Under new leadership, they present a powerful combination of potential and rhetoric. Iain Duncan Smith gave a strong speech on solar power during the leadership contest, and is said to be personally committed. Peter Ainsworth, the Shadow Environment Secretary, appears thoughtful and intelligent, and boasts a record of environmental activity on the backbench.

Greenpeace reaction to Tony Blair's speech, 'Environment: the next steps',

Clearcut forest in British ColumbiaStephen Tindale, Greenpeace Policy Director, said,


"This is the first indication that the Prime Minister is genuinely and personally committed to the fight against climate change. The 100 million to support solar power, wave power and offshore wind is a breakthrough - no British Government has been prepared to invest in solar or wave until now. It's only a down payment, as Tony Blair recognised, but it's a very welcome first step.

"It's now up to the other parties to follow his lead and outline their plans on climate. Calling for lower petrol prices and threatening to scrap the Climate Change Levy suggest that the Conservatives have forgotten everything they ever learnt about climate change.

"Tony Blair also committed himself to lead the international efforts to stop illegal logging, and promised that the British Government would only buy timber from legal and sustainable sources. This means only timber which is independently certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This is a powerful message to the market place."
