UK NGOs concerned as Theresa May Abolishes Department of Energy and Climate Change
Public figures and NGOs in the U.K. have expressed concern over new Prime Minister, Theresa May’s decision to abolish the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
It was announced this week, following her cabinet reshuffle that the DECC would be dismantled and that its functions would now be carried out by the newly formed Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy under Secretary of State Greg Clark, M.P.
This is seen by many as a downgrading of the priority status given to Climate Change, given that the department does not have the words Climate Change in its title.
