We Mean Business Coalition response to the results of the UK general election 2024
We Mean Business Coalition
“WMBC welcomes new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and emphasises the urgent need for the new UK government to begin immediate delivery of a meaningful response to the climate and nature crises, as an integral part of its economic and social plan for the country.
“Representing 16,000 businesses globally across the Coalition, we know large and small businesses in the UK stand ready to support the new government in driving renewable energy deployment, energy efficiency and working towards a managed phase out of fossil fuels – the principal cause of climate change.
“UK leadership on climate action has lacked coherence in recent years. The new government has a deep understanding of what is at stake, the scale of the emergency and the economic opportunities that decisive action can bring. The UK is in prime position to regain its place at the forefront of the energy transition.”
