Vince Cable talks on climate change, carbon and a green economy - a TSL interview

Earlier this month, we travelled to Westminster to interview Vince Cable, the MP and Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor, in the lead-up to last week’s Trust for Sustainable Living conference, Sustainability: Where Are We Going?.

Cable could well become Chancellor in the upcoming election - he is considered to be the most likely candidate if there is a hung parliament – so it was a good opportunity to ask about his views on a variety of green issues.

He had originally agreed to be a conference speaker but plans changed and our conference day was declared Budget Day. Instead, he agreed to be interviewed by TSL/TLR director Karl Hansen and Belinda Hawkins of Botanic Gardens Conservation International on some of the key themes raised by the conference.
