UK taking green advice from energy giant suing Dutch for phasing out coal

URL copied to clipboard Boris Johnson’s new investment council includes a subsidiary of a German energy giant that is suing the Netherlands for €1.4bn for phasing out coal. The Investment Council, which launched last month to drum up foreign investment into the UK, has talked up the importance of ‘sustainable’ investment and ‘green industries’ ahead of the COP26 Climate Summit. But the council’s advisers include RWE Renewables, whose parent company took the Netherlands to a World Bank arbitration tribunal after the Dutch government decided to phase out coal. The government’s announcement of this new advisory body quoted RWE Renewables CEO Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath saying that “the council will create the right framework for sustainable investment” in the UK.
