The pact will enable better access for U.K. firms including Octopus Energy \u2014 the country\u2019s biggest energy supplier \u2014 to California\u2019s market, the U.K.\u2019s Energy Security and Net Zero Department said.<\/p>\n
It will also underpin collaboration between British and Californian research institutions and enshrine both sides\u2019 continued commitment to international efforts to fight climate change through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) treaty. The Trump administration withdrew the U.S. from the UNFCCC earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Striking a contrast, Newsom said California \u201cwill continue showing the world how we can turn innovation and ambition into climate action.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornia is the best place in America to invest in a clean economy because we set clear goals\u00a0and we\u00a0deliver. Today, we deepened our partnership with the United Kingdom on climate action and welcomed\u00a0nearly a\u00a0billion dollars in clean tech investment from Octopus Energy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Miliband said that \u201cstrong international partnerships\u201d would strengthen \u201copportunities for U.K. businesses and secures investment for our country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The pact will enable better access for U.K. firms including Octopus Energy \u2014 the country\u2019s biggest energy supplier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[39011,7,9,8,443,6246,536,85618,438,6774,85074,3310,5180,3956,85073,88095,6832,6080,88096,41259,435],"class_list":["post-187371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-americas","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-climate-change","tag-department","tag-donald-trump","tag-ed-miliband","tag-emissions","tag-energy","tag-energy-security","tag-innovation","tag-investment","tag-markets","tag-net-zero","tag-net-zero-emissions","tag-offshore-wind","tag-research","tag-transatlantic-relations","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
