Institute for Government warns that UK is off track in reaching net zero by 2050

Article summary

The Institute for Government has published a report on ‘how government can meet its climate change target’. The report fears that the UK is ‘off track’ to meet climate targets and calls on the government to ‘publish a clear plan setting out, sector by sector, how emissions reductions will be achieved and when decisions will be made’. The report covers ‘the scale of the challenge’, the UK’s current approach, what works and does not work in this approach, what the UK can learn from other countries and recommendations on how the government can achieve net zero emissions.
