The continuing growth of renewable energy in the UK energy system, and its associated technological advancements, are key drivers behind the move toward a more decentralised approach to energy generation.

This decentralised approach is fundamentally changing the way consumers are engaging with renewable energy. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has received 24/7 media coverage across the globe, and with good reason.

Coronavirus has had a catastrophic impact, claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, devastating our economies and materially changing the lives of millions as we try to adapt to the profound societal changes it has inflicted.

Today, the Edinburgh Climate Commission has published its report 'Forward, Faster, Together: Recommendations for a Green Economic Recovery in Edinburgh', which you can download using the link at the end of the page.

The Edinburgh Climate Commission is an independent body working to accelerate action on climate change in Edinburgh. The Commission established just as Covid-19 took hold and has produced this, its first report, for all who have a role in how Edinburgh recovers from the pandemic.

As the world is rocked by a global pandemic, it seems counterintuitive to turn to the crisis of climate change as a source of hope and purpose.

Yet, building a better future, the resilient, fairer future that the response to climate change demands of us all, remains an imperative that must guide us as we emerge from Covid-19. 

Right now we remain in the eye of this crisis and every effort must be made to protect people and help the most vulnerable.
