Guernsey's former chief economist calls for more funding for a greener future
Report by ITV Channel's Katherine Levy
Guernsey's former chief economist says the island's finance sector needs to do more to fund solutions to secure a sustainable future.
It follows Cop26 in Glasgow where world leaders gathered to save the planet from what experts warn could be irreversible climate change.
Dr Andy Sloan founded the International Sustainability Institute of the Channel Islands which launched in Guernsey last week.
He believes the Bailiwicks should work together and harness their collective power to become global green energy providers - with potential to generate 20% of the current UK renewable energy.
Businesses in the Channel Islands are increasingly adopting sustainable business practices.
Guernsey's Chamber of Commerce is live streaming a talk about the path to net zero for local businesses on Tuesday 16 November after the event sold-out.
Sustainability is also gaining political traction.
Next month Guernsey's States will discuss changes to planning and development laws to make it easier for people to choose greener options.
That includes installing solar panels, electric car charging points and air source heat pumps.
