Everybody talks about population growth and its disastrous effect on climate change, food security and resource depletion, but nobody does anything about it
Phil HardingThe 2013/14 storms & floods show the UK needs to invest in a climate resilient, low carbon, food secure, full employment, positive future
Phil HardingLike our finances, humankind is living with a growing ecological deficit but the solution is different. The deficit will worsen with dangerous consequences unless we address population growth sooner rather than later. Efficiency improvements, increased use of renewable resources and less waste in themselves are no longer sufficient to put us back into credit
Phil HardingNo economic measure has more value for a nation than investing in a clean & sustainable low carbon future
Phil HardingThe UK still has time to accelerate the take-up of renewable energy and put the nation on a path towards clean energy that is cheaper, stable and more sustainable. We have a stark choice: We can stay stuck in the last century's boom and bust approach to our economy in the way we consume energy and resources, or create a sustainable, stable and renewable energy infrastructure with the long term environmental and employment benefits that ensue
