Political parties should prioritize long-term thinking on climate transition: Stafford Capital Partners CEO

It is important for political parties to adopt long-term thinking and stable policies to finance the transition to a net-zero economy, said Angus Whiteley, CEO of Stafford Capital Partners, to Funds Europe.

He criticized UK political parties, such as Labour and the Conservatives, for scaling back on their climate commitments. “Short-term policy shifts by both major parties in the UK to address short-term fiscal imperatives will erode the stability needed to finance the transition to a sustainable economy,” said Whiteley.
