Responding to David Cameron’s defence of his government’s green policies this evening, Friends of the Earth CEO Craig Bennett said:
“If dismantling a dozen green policies and putting 19,000 solar workers on notice isn’t “backsliding on green commitments”, I don’t know what is.
“Cutting solar, banning onshore wind and privatising the Green Investment Bank, while letting frackers loose on our national parks, are not the actions of a government committed to meaningful climate action.”
