Emphatically yes. It is absolutely clear that there is an imperative need to decarbonise our energy supply and that the development of renewable energy will be a critical step in this process. Given that we face major challenges due to climate change and biodiversity collapse, the need to re-think is both critical and urgent. We support the development of renewable energy when, in line with best international practice, sites are carefully selected to avoid the negative environmental impacts associated with offshore wind and when proposed projects are subject to a modern democratic marine planning process, for example ecosystem-based Marine Spatial Planning.
