An honest conversation about net zero
Listen now
Description
Recently, Rishi Sunak announced significant changes to the UK's net zero pathway. A ban on the sale of combustion engines has been pushed back to 2035, instead of a 100% phase out of gas boilers by 2035, this has been changed to 80%, and he’s scrapped energy efficiency targets for homes.
What is the impact of the announcement? Who will it affect? How will it alter the UK's path to net zero?
Joining us today is Chris Stark, Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee, an independent, statutory body which advises the government on climate change.
Paul was until this year also a member of the CCC.
