Article summary

Green Alliance has identified five policies that the government should implement in 2020 for the UK to cut enough carbon to meet its net zero goal. Ahead of the UN climate summit COP26, hosted by the UK in November 2020, Green Alliance argues that a reduction of at least 313MtCO2 is necessary for the UK to meet its own climate targets. Lastly, the Green Alliance policy tracker highlights that the government is currently under-spending with regards to cutting carbon emissions and must take further action to reduce emissions relating to transport, housing, land use and industry.
