Is the UK losing its leadership status on net zero?
Listen now
Description
The UK was the first major power to sign net zero into law in 2019, and was once considered a global leader on climate policy. After Brexit and a change of government, is the country failing to live up to its promises?  Alasdair speaks to Dr. Doug Parr, Greenpeace UK's Chief Scientist, about the UK's place on the global stage, how its net zero policies are progressing, and how the country is taking dangerous risks with nuclear and aviation.  Podcast editing by Vasko Kostovski.  Click here to visit The Negative Emissions Gamble, our curated collection of articles and podcasts on carbon removal.
