(DECC) Ed Miliband statement on G20



Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Ed Miliband said:

"The Summit communique makes building a green and sustainable economy one of the six core commitments of economic recovery made by the G20 countries, and 'accelerating the transition to a green economy' one of the goals of fiscal expansion.

"The leaders also agreed a strong commitment to achieving a deal at Copenhagen - the first time all major countries have collectively done so.

"This provides an excellent platform for discussions at the upcoming Major Economies Forum. The Prime Minister welcomed the decision by President Obama to re-establish the forum including a Leaders' Summit to discuss climate change.

"These are good outcomes, establishing the central role of climate change in economic policy even in the midst of this financial and economic crisis."
