Green jobs news: Government commits £100m for biodiversity

Renewable energy careers professionals might be delighted to hear that the Conservative-Liberal Democrat alliance is to invest £100 million into developments with biodiversity benefits.

As part of the international climate finance plans unveiled in last week's (October 20th) comprehensive spending review, the government will commit this figure to help fund "pioneering projects", environment secretary Caroline Spellman - MP for Meriden - said.

Among the planned channels for investment is the UK's contribution to the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation scheme, which is intended to help prevent the loss of woodland areas in developing countries.

On top of this, Britain will also underline its commitment to green energy by using this cash to deliver benefits to the environment such as reducing the destruction of natural habitats.

Mrs Spelman, who was speaking at the Nagoya conference in Japan, stated that this measure is "critical" if the country is going to fulfil its objective of tackling climate change.
