Achieving climate targets
Since first publishing the “Options, Choices, Actions” report in 2015 we have witnessed the emergence of many changes that will impact how the UK meets its 2050 climate targets. The government has set out its clean growth aspirations, while also developing a number of sector deals to add detail on how it intends to deliver this. More recently, the IPCC has provided a significant body of evidence that illustrates the true scale of our climate challenges, indicating that a target of ‘net zero’ emissions is now viewed by them as critical.
