Greenpeace is awesome. No doubt about it.
Ruth Davis, chief policy adviser at Greenpeace UK gave this speech to the Sustainable Development Commission in Scotland last year, and it’s worth watching.
Some headlines –
- It just wasn’t politically possible to transform rich country economies in the 10-year timescale, as well as funding a just development transition for poorer countries.
- Now focusing on a bottom-up approach, creating solutions that can be scaled
- Investment into renewables has to happen. We can’t move forward without it. Hence the Beyond Oil campaign.
