India central to green energy plan: U.K. climate change envoy
3 June 2015
India will be a member of a consortium of countries that will implement the Global Apollo Programme - a plan to find ways within the next 10 years of making green energy clean cheaper to produce than energy drawn from coal, gas or oil. This is the only way the internationally accepted limit of 2 degrees centigrade increase in global emperature that will avert a climate crisis can be met. The plan - which seeks to bring the creative spirit that put the first humans on the moon through the Apollo mission to the challenge of reversing climate change - is the brainchild of a group of UK experts drawn from academia, business and government. The group includes Sir David King, UK's climate change envoy and former United Kingdom Chief Scientific Adviser, Lord Nicholas Stern, author of the Stern Report, Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, Lord Richard Layard, Director of Wellbeing Programme, London School of Economics Centre for Economic Performance and Lord John Browne, ex-BP chief.
