Clarification, 26 October 2009

The GFC report is being launched by the independent Green Fiscal Commission and by Professor Paul Ekins and Robert Napier. Some newspaper reports have inaccurately reported that Lord Adair Turner (Chair of the Committee on Climate Change) is launching the findings. Lord Turner will take part in a panel debate to take place tonight, in order to respond to the report’s findings, alongside other representatives. Lord Turner has not contributed to the content of the report, either in his position as Chair of the Committee on Climate Change or as Chair of the Financial Services Authority.
