Green Lib Dem Conference Roundup
James Collis - Citizen's Climate Lobby
Carbon Pricing and Tax
James has dedicated a huge part of his life to fighting for the implementation of impactful and valuable Climate Policy, alongside his great passion for European collaboration, co-founding and becoming chair for Citizens’ Climate Europe. The organisation trains citizens to exercise their democratic rights and advocate for effective climate policy. The organisation believes in building non-partisan relationships to achieve political consensus. After 100’s of meetings between citizen volunteers and legislators across Europe, all the main components of effective carbon pricing are now included in the EU Green Deal. As a testament to James’ leadership and contribution, in May 2023 he was appointed to the EU Climate Change Expert Group for ETS2 Implementation (ETS2 is carbon pricing).
