The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has stated that the UK is “nowhere near” meeting emissions targets enshrined in the Glasgow Climate Pact.

Official advisers warn that at current rates, the country will be contributing to a temperature rise of 2.7oC by 2100. In theory, the organisation says this could be brought down to just under 2oC but urges government to agree tougher policies and for other nations to slash emissions too.1

Whilst there has been much progress and many pledges, time remains the enemy. It is crucial these pledges are translated, with speed, to legally binding national determined contributions.
