“Sharing responsibility holds the key to fighting climate change”

Cameron lists the main government initiatives: Carbon Capture & Storage, Green Deal, offshore wind, Green Investment Bank, electricity market reform, getting international negotiations back on track and reducing emissions within Whitehall.

“But as well as a low-carbon government we need a low-carbon society…” Cameron appeals to some traditional Conservative values – essentially saying that the individual has to play their part in making the right decisions, government can’t do it all.
