UK and Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) endorse Jonathon Porritt’s report on Net Zero Without Nuclear

The UK & Ireland Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) warmly welcomes and
endorses a detailed report by leading environmentalist Jonathon Porritt
which outlines why, in seeking to get to ‘net zero’ carbon emissions
and tackling the climate emergency, there is no need for new nuclear power
stations. Jonathon Porritt is a former Chief Executive of Friends of the
Earth and of the Sustainable Development Commission. His detailed report
published today seeks to look at an issue NFLA has been heavily involved in
for some time – can new nuclear provide any positive assistance in the
critical endeavour to mitigate and adapt to the challenge of climate
change? His ringing answer is a clear and concise ‘no’.
