The Parliamentary Debate
Invitation to Westminster Parliamentary Debate Meeting to Discuss Carbon Cycling, Carbon Reductions and Green Bonds Environmental Finance
18 November 2010
A landmark All Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group (APPCCG) meeting will be held at Westminster at 6 pm on 18th November 2010 to discuss Carbon Reductions, Green Innovation and Environmental Finance. Additionally, Carbon Cycling and attendant finance involves the cyclic conversion of carbon emissions into threatened carbon-based resources in order to ensure our food, water and energy security.
According to the Environmental Parliament, this could be the basis of a new global industry which restores, rather than depletes or pollutes, our environment and resource base.

Attending are a diverse group of politicians, academics, industry leaders, oil companies, foreign agencies, environmental groups, grant-making trusts, charities, youth representatives, general public and the media. The Environmental Parliament, Imperial College, Oxford University, Cambridge University, the Agriculture and Environment Research Unit at the University of Hertfordshire , the EP Science Media center the Green Party and the Lib-Dems are in support.
This parliamentary discussion promises to be both inspiring and thought-provoking. My earnest hope is that renewable use of carbon is recognised as a plausible option for harnessing emissions. If it can be seen that moving this option forward is supported at a high level, I believe the immediate result will be wide-spread optimism for ourselves and future generations.
