Comment: Climate Change Committee’s Chris Stark stepping down

11 January 2024

Following news that Chris Stark will leave the Climate Change Committee after serving as Chief Executive for the past six years, Environmental Audit Committee Chair, Rt Hon Philip Dunne MP, said:

“Chris Stark has taken the Climate Change Committee from strength to strength over the last six years. His diligent work has helped provide the UK Government and Parliament with unparalleled analysis and evidence based recommendations on how the UK can best tackle climate change in sectors throughout the economy. I would like to thank personally Chris not only for his active engagement with the Environmental Audit Committee’s work and his thorough assessment of Government progress, but also more widely for the way he has facilitated the Climate Change Committee to support Parliament in its scrutiny work. He will be sorely missed, though I am sure that his successors will provide similarly robust leadership for the CCC’s excellent work: we look forward to working with them.”
