This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Audit Committee points out that there is a large green finance gap. Investments are currently running at less than half of the £200 billion needed in energy infrastructure alone by 2020 to deliver national and international emissions reduction targets. And stock markets could be inflating a 'carbon bubble' by over-valuing companies with fossil fuel assets that will have to be left unburned in order to limit climate change. The Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee should seek advice from the independent Committee on Climate Change to help it monitor the systemic risk to financial stability associated with a carbon bubble. To address the green finance gap, the Government must provide a joined-up, stable and certain policy framework that maintains investor confidence and helps markets price in the cost of carbon. The Green Investment Bank has made a good start but does not currently have the power to borrow in order to leverage and enlarge its investments - limiting its potential to fill the green finance gap. Take up of the Green Deal has been poor and the Government must make it simpler and more attractive to households. The European Commission's (EC) proposed new rules for State Aid in the energy sector could limit the finance available to support community owned energy schemes. The Government must play a central role in agreeing ambitious and binding international commitments on climate change, both in the EU and in the run up to the UN climate talks in Paris 2015.

Book excerpt: The Environmental Audit Committee was set up by the House of Commons in 1997 reflecting a Manifesto commitment by the incoming Labour Government. This report from the Committee takes stock of how effective the environmental audit of government has been and draws conclusions on the performance of both the government and the work of the Committee. The impact of the Committee and follow up work is given as an annex to the report. The overall view taken is that the government has a long way to go on the expectations it has raised on the environment and sustainable development. Firstly, the government has set few targets. It needs to set measurable targets, i.e. with a baseline, milestones and responsibilities for reporting and to inject some rigour into the reporting requirements of its departments, agencies and associated public bodies. Secondly, for the parliamentary environmental audit initiative to be properly effective, an independent environmental audit facility should be set up. The Committee does not have the resources to undertake this role. The report recommends that an environmental auditor general should be established within the National Audit Office, mirroring arrangements for performance audit of public spending. A draft Bill to this effect follows the report. The report also recommends that the government works with international organisations to make 'measuring national performance' a theme of reporting progress on Agenda 21 at Rio+10 in 2002 and, to contribute to the examination of how best to measure progress on sustainable development.
