The U.K. government’s climate advisers on Wednesday slammed officials for their slow pace in meeting their “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions target and backtracking on fossil fuel commitments. They say Britain has “lost its clear global leadership position on climate action.”
The Climate Change Committee, which tracks the U.K. government’s decarbonization efforts, said in a new report that government backing for a new coal mine and new domestic oil and gas production undermined Britain’s “international messaging” telling other countries to stop developing fossil fuels.
The committee added that it was losing confidence in the government meeting its net zero emissions target. Authorities have pledged to reduce emissions by 68% by 2030, eventually reaching net-zero — or releasing only as much greenhouse gas as can be absorbed again through natural or technological means - by 2050. But with just seven years to go until the first goalpost, climate advisers say the pace of action is “worryingly slow.”
