Newsnight tackles Green and Growth

by Fergus McReynolds, Senior Climate and Environment Policy Adviser 12. October 2011 09:56

Last night’s lively debate on the BBC’s flagship Newsnight programme saw Energy and Climate Minister Greg Baker, Green MP Caroline Lucas and EEF’s Policy Director Steve Radley tackle the difficult question of balancing a move to a green economy and promoting the growth of UK manufacturing.

Steve Radley and Greg Baker agreed that the government must work with industry to achieve the ambitious targets set out in the Government’s carbon budgets.  

The programme will be available on the BBC’s iPlayer for the next seven days.
