Gouverneur Newsom startet britische Klimapartnerschaft und begrüßt das fast 1 Milliarde US-Dollar teure Engagement von Octopus Energy für saubere Technologien

Governor Gavin Newsom today announced an expanded partnership between California and the United Kingdom to tackle climate change and promote sustainable development together. During the visit, the Governor also met with leaders in the UK to advance partnerships in climate, business, and trade.

He concluded the trip at UK clean-tech unicorn Octopus Energy, which is committing nearly $1 billion to California companies and projects focused on clean technologies and nature-based solutions.

The Governor and UK Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) deepening cooperation on climate. California and the UK share deep historical and cultural ties and a long track record of collaboration. The signing of this memorandum of understanding (MOU) builds on that foundation and builds on an already strong relationship to tackle climate change and promote sustainable development together.

At a time when communities worldwide are experiencing the consequences of climate change—higher costs, extreme weather, and wildfires—this partnership underscores the need to accelerate innovation and invest in solutions that save lives.

This is a good deal. Governor Newsome may well be the next President of the USA, it’s always good to have solid working relationships straight off the bat.
