Kate Ruddock, Policy and Campaigns Manager, FotE Ireland
“Our climate is in crisis, and the health of our world is at risk. Transitioning our energy system out of fossil fuels to climate safe renewable technologies is essential. The scale of transformation required will only be possible with the co-operation of communities, citizens, Governments and businesses working together and sharing in the benefits that renewable energy generation and distribution can bring. Friends of the Earth welcome this partnership in the RGI with grid operators and NGO's working together to achieve the goal of a renewably powered europe while protecting people and nature. ”
