Commenting on UK's cabinet reshuffle today, Sarah Mukherjee MBE, CEO at IEMA, said:
“We welcome a department responsible for energy security and net zero. We hope this reshuffle heralds the government's intention to respond with all possible speed to the Skidmore Review and the publication of the UK's updated net zero strategy.
“Emphasis should be on enabling faster progress on the transition to a sustainable future.
“The government must make sure we have a workforce equipped with the necessary green skills to build and adapt to a greener economy.”
