Webinar Recording

Lord Deben has spent a lifetime as a conscientious environmentalist, and a stalwart conservative. Lord Deben chairs the Climate Change Committee, the independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008. The Committee advises the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and reports to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as preparations for adapting to the impacts of climate change. As Chairman of the UK Climate Change Committee he brings some unique insights. In this webinar he will explain why he believes that returning to true, free-market, conservative roots is an essential step to meeting the environmental challenges of climate change.
