London, 11 July 2013 – The UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF) today co-signed a letter to the Treasury Select Committee which calls for an inquiry into why senior Treasury economists apparently blocked a major Government review into resource depletion, climate change and UK growth prospects. The letter is signed by a number of major investment institutions, the Aldersgate Group, and Friends of the Earth and also includes a ‘Business Statement’ signed by 46 Aldersgate Group members.

Chief Executives and other senior figures from major UK investment institutions, representing over £500 bn(1) in assets under management, have written together to the Prime Minister welcoming the creation of a UK Green Investment Bank.

The seven senior executives highlight the significant investment needed in low carbon infrastructure in the UK and express interest in considering future investments in the Bank’s securities. They say that a Green Investment Bank “could play an important role to enable and accelerate this major low carbon investment”.

The initiative was convened by UKSIF, the sustainable investment and finance association.
