Our ability to visit far off places and people, and their access to us, has always been at the very heart of the UK’s ability to ‘punch above our weight in the world’, whether that’s commercially, culturally or diplomatically, writes Ben Caldecott, head of European policy at investment firm Climate Change Capital.
The most active investors in the cleantech, renewable energy and sustainability sectors share their views on the market at the fourth annual LP-GP Forum: Clean Energy & Sustainability.
