Today the UK Prime Minister has outlined his Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, promising 250,000 jobs to be created. The plan covers clean energy, transport, nature and innovative technologies with the intention of halting the UKs contribution to climate change by 2050.

Professor Neil Strachan, Director of the 果冻影院 Energy Institute welcomed the Prime Minister鈥檚 announcement听

It is excellent to see that the government is taking a whole systems approach, and understands the interconnections between electricity, transport, heat, new technologies, behaviour change, and nature-based solutions to reduce emissions.鈥澨
