“Lib Dems have an impressive record of achievements on climate change” – green figures praise Ed Davey

So wrote 20 of the leading figures in the renewable energy sector, calling for the Liberal Democrats to have a role in the next government:

From setting up Britain’s first Green Investment Bank and the first Community Energy Strategy, to battling with the Treasury over critical decisions like the Levy Control Framework or the 4th Carbon Budget, the Lib Dems have an impressive record of achievements on climate change that deserves much wider recognition. The vital EU 2030 deal – that set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets across the EU – simply would not have happened without Ed Davey’s personal leadership, especially through the EU Green Growth Group he established.

We have been impressed with the determination of Liberal Democrat Ministers to fight for the environment agenda – even when they met significant resistance…

With the polls showing that another hung Parliament is likely, we hope – for the sake of the battle against climate change and for our environment – that any Coalition will include the Liberal Democrats.

Aside from receiving such praise, Ed Davey has also recently launched his five-point environmental plan.
