Article summary

The Prime Minister has announced that an additional £350m funding is to be made available to tackle climate change and drive a green economic recovery from coronavirus (COVID-19). The funding will help to cut emissions across the heavy industry, construction, space and transport sectors as part of the UK’s commitment to reach a net zero by 2050. Funding will be awarded to projects developing new technologies that could help companies make the switch to more energy-efficient means of production, use data more effectively in tackling climate change and create new green jobs. Alongside this, the Prime Minister has launched the first meeting of the Jet Zero Council, an initiative which brings together government representatives from the environmental sector and aviation and aerospace industry to discuss how to decarbonise the aviation industry.
