Climate change is driven largely by our reliance on fossil fuels. Setting fire to millions of years of stored carbon in a very short space of time is creating a greenhouse effect and altering our climate. The UN, UK and Scottish Governments have all outlined plans to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels by moving to a low carbon economy. To achieve this we need to implement sustainable energy technologies in every part of our economy.
