British Renewables Calls for Green Recovery

RenewableUK’s Public Affairs Manager Nathan Bennett said: “The climate emergency has not gone away; if anything, the Covid-19 pandemic has underlined the need to make sure our economy is sustainable and resilient in the long-term. The CCC highlights that climate investments support economic growth and jobs, and this is precisely what renewable energy companies are doing through investing tens of billions of pounds in new infrastructure. This investment boosts local economies all over the country, particularly in coastal communities which urgently need new job opportunities. We’ll be working with Ministers to ensure we have the right policies in place to accelerate this investment and deliver net zero."

“Our industry will play a pro-active role in getting the economy back on track as we move out of lockdown. Renewables are a UK-wide opportunity to have a sustainable, forward-looking recovery and to boost productivity across the economy”.

Lately, voices all around the world are getting louder to connect economic recovery with pushing for the energy transition to a low-carbon infrastructure.
