IEMA responds to Climate Change Committee's progress report

In response to the Climate Change Committee's 15th Annual Report on the UK's progress towards decarbonisation, Sarah Mukherjee MBE, CEO of IEMA said the assessment from the government's official climate advisors is a cause for concern:

"The committee is calling for a major acceleration of action to deliver a net zero economy, but this is only possible with enough people with the right green skills and training.

"IEMA is calling for a commitment to scale up green skills and jobs in the UK and for delegates at COP28 in the UAE to prioritise a commitment to green skills and training during the negotiations. We have to give the world the best chance of action at the pace and scale needed to avoid climate breakdown”
