Commission on Environmental Markets and Economic Performance

The Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (Mr. John Hutton)
My right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for DEFRA, DIUS and I are publishing today the report to Government by the Commission on Environmental Markets and Economic Performance (CEMEP).

The CEMEP report describes how major economic opportunities are emerging from the growing imperative of climate change and how the UK can take a lead in seizing these opportunities and become the best place to do business.

The Government’s response to the CEMEP will be published in 2008.
