Corp. All Rights Reserved. We must protect our countryside from over-development. We will put planning into local hands, ending National and Regional house-planning targets. Internationally, we must tackle climate change.
Conservatives are committed to global action on greenhouse gas emissions.
We will deliver comprehensive and targeted energy conservation measures, emission permit trading, tax incentives and cleaner energy generation. This will better combat climate change than badly-structured taxes like the Climate Change Levy, which will encourage polluting industries to move to countries with less strict emission controls, thus contributing nothing to reducing global CO2 emissions. Promoting renewable energy is key to our strategy for combating climate change. We will decide which of he Green Energy Commission's initial proposals to enact early in a new Government. The conditions of the Warm Homes Act must be met.
