Overall reaction:
John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace UK, said:
“Hammond’s first Budget could have put the UK on course to lead the global race for clean technology, healthy air and a strong economy. To really ‘prepare Britain for a brighter future’ the Chancellor should have used this moment to gain an advantage by boldly backing offshore wind power, supporting solar and driving consumers towards cleaner cars.

The Chancellor announced new support for innovation, research and Electric Vehicles.
Doug Parr, Greenpeace Chief Scientist said: “Today’s Autumn Statement did little to boost the UK’s credibility as a global leader on climate action. But there were some glimmers of hope in the money for electric vehicles and a stable carbon floor price that will help phase out coal. Now, with a smidgen of innovation and inspiration, the new national productivity investment fund should back clean, modern and home grown technologies. Other countries are already doing this and are forging ahead in the race to dominate the booming low carbon economy.

Energy and climate change secretary Ed Miliband has agreed to include emissions from aviation and shipping in the new Climate Change Bill, which is due to become law next month. Having already taken the important step of upping Britain's commitment to curb its carbon footprint from 60 per cent to 80 per cent by 2050 during his first week in office, he's now accepted an ammendment to the bill proposed by rebel Labour MPs to include the carbon footprint of the aviation and shipping industries.
