Ed Miliband MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, commenting on the Institute for Public Policy Research’s Environmental Justice Commission interim report publication, which calls on the UK to go ‘faster, further and fairer’ to combat the climate change crisis in addition to rebuilding the economy, said:

“This important report shows why a green recovery is essential for jobs, tackling the climate crisis and improving quality of life.

“This is the way we can build back better and create a fairer economy and society.

“There is a real urgency for the government to respond and rise to this moment.”
