Climate change and energy

We need to tackle climate change by securing the energy we need in ways which reduce emissions of ‘greenhouse gases’, mainly carbon dioxide. We need to do this in a way that protects our countryside for all to enjoy. CPRE is campaigning for energy policies and solutions that protect both the planet and the countryside. We are changing our climate mainly by burning oil, coal and gas, adding ever more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
