WWF-UK’s Chief Executive David Nussbaum responded to news that the UK government will ratify the global climate deal signed in Paris last year 

“The Government has sent a welcome message that British leadership on climate change is still a priority.  This is good news for the planet, for the UK’s international standing, and for the green industries that have so much to offer by creating jobs and revenue from low-carbon energy, transport and infrastructure.

“We now need a strong plan that sets out how Ministers will translate ambition into action.  The expected industrial strategy would be a great place to set out clear low-carbon policies and give businesses an early opportunity to plan ahead. Ministers should also build on today’s foundations by backing a strong global deal to limit aircraft emissions at the International Civil Aviation Organisation conference in Montreal next week"
