Responding to news that Chris Stark is to step down as chief executive of the Climate Change Committee (CCC), Energy UK’s chief executive Emma Pinchbeck said:
“It’s a measure of the respect in which the expert advice of the independent Climate Change Committee and the system of transparent, rigorous carbon budgets is held that it has been copied all over the world. Chris deserves enormous credit for making the CCC a voice for progress and accountability in challenging times while displaying both humour & intellectual heft in equal measures. We wish him all the very best with his next step.”
