Another vital step to net-zero : Green economy reacts to the Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy
The UK Government has unveiled a new Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy that will spur rapid decarbonisation across industry, the public sector, construction and manufacturing. But do green groups believe the strategy will put the nation on course for net-zero by 2050?
Green groups have largely welcomed the new strategy, but want more details
The Strategy links to the £1bn Public Sector Decarbonisation Fund and the £171m Industrial Decarbonisation Challenge and is expected to support 80,000 UK jobs over the next 30 years whilst cutting emissions by two-thirds in just 15 years. Longer-term, the Government believes a 90% cut in emissions will be delivered by 2050 compared to 2018 levels.

Let me start with a word from one of the most successful businesspeople ever: Bill Gates. In his new book ‘How to Avoid a Climate Disaster’ he says this:
There are two numbers you need to know about climate change: 51 billion and zero. The former is the number of tons of greenhouse gases typically added to the atmosphere each year as a result of human activities. The latter is the number of tons we need to get to by 2050 in order to avert a climate crisis
