For immediate release

“Invest in the thriving green sector to get economy back on track” says WWF

Commenting on Kemi Badenoch's speech to the Conservative Party Conference, David Walsh, Head of Public Affairs at WWF said:

"If we want to get the economy back on track then the best way forward is to invest in the thriving green sector, clean British energy, and nature friendly agriculture to combat the very real threat of climate and nature loss. But stepping back from climate action by scrapping the Climate Change Act with no sense of what the plan will be instead would be a devastating blow for nature and one that the country, households and our environment cannot afford. Kemi Badenoch must reconsider."
