Step up climate action of risk failure at key Cop26 summit, government warned

The Government must rapidly step up action on climate change – or risk undermining “global Britain” and success at key Cop26 talks this year, its advisers have warned.

Policies are urgently needed to make homes cosier and heated with clean heat pumps, ensure new houses are energy-efficient and can cope with heatwaves, drive the shift to electric vehicles, and encourage people to eat less meat.

They are just some of 200 recommendations from the advisory Climate Change Committee, which warns that the Government is not delivering on the ambitious targets it has set to tackle global warming.
