Our signature form is now closed. More than 160 scientists from around the world signed onto our response to the UK Government’s consultation. View the letter we submitted here.
The UK government — the biggest user and subsidizer of bioenergy in the world — recently launched a consultation with proposals to offer additional subsidies to the bioenergy industry when current subsidies expire in 2027. More money to destroy more forests and burn more trees would mean more harm to biodiversity and the climate, as well as billions more dollars wasted on a false renewable.
If you are a scientist from any scientific discipline (e.g., ecology, medicine, economics, etc.), we invite you to join as a signatory on this letter calling for the end of subsidies for industrial-scale forest biomass. Your name will be included when we submit it to the UK government before the consultation ends on 29 February.
