Urgency demands inclusivity-El President joins NGOs on panel to discuss climate change

摘要

El President Steve Holliday appealed for a more inclusive approach to fighting climate change,as he debated the need for urgent action with co-panellists at Energy Live EXPO in Westminster in November.He was joined on the platform by representatives of environmental NGOs-Kirsty Gogan of Energy For Humanity and Adam Woodhall of Extinction Rebellion-and by Mike Hughes of Schneider Electric UK.Holliday stated that while the UK has made’enormous progress',he called for a big tent approach to increase the pace of change and the chances of success.Addressing a 450 strong audience,he first called for an end to rivalries between technologies-'we need all the low carbon technologies available to us',he said.He then called for the capabilities of all companies,new and old,to play their full parts,including oil and companies which’have the capital,the intellectual and engineering capabilities to solve so many of these problems.’He credited some with having’started on the journey,repurposing themselves,’but asserted that’none has yet gone far enough.’
