Mary Robinson: 'We tax-exempt what’s killing us, would you believe it?'

Mary Robinson has called on the Government to invest so that it will be more affordable for people to 'go green'. 

Mary Robinson has warned that some tax exemptions were “killing us” and that reducing subsidies could have huge consequences for some people.

The former president said that the most recent Cop was the first time that there has been language about the phasing out of fossil fuel in the text, which she described as “significant”, however, she warned that some subsidies need to be carefully thought out.
