A cross-party parliamentary committee has recommended that the government appoint a climate change minister to ensure that green policies are properly coordinated across Whitehall. That's good. I think we need the same thing at Camden Council. An Executive portfolio that looks specifically at climate change.
The Treasury Select Committee also expressed concern that the government's policy mix is insufficient to meet its internationally agreed climate change targets, which it is, and called for a greater use of green taxes to effect behavioural change, and criticised airlines for dragging their feet on reducing carbon emissions.
