The impacts of climate change on our world are now widely accepted. We are all being challenged to consider the role we play in climate action.

At the moment, the majority of us still use fossil fuels to generate our electricity, heat our homes and run our cars, all of which release carbon into the environment. However, people are now moving towards a low carbon solution and accept that this needs to change. Last year, 43% of our electricity came from renewable sources. The development of renewable energy, including solar energy, is the foundation upon which effective climate action can be delivered.

The world is getting warmer and extreme weather events are a frequent occurrence. We cannot stop climate change, but we can take action to address it.
