Rejected petition Reinstate climate policies to achieve net zero and boost the economy.

Rejected on 4 October 2023

To address the climate crisis, we are calling for the reinstatement of policies to achieve net zero emissions, specifically improvements in household energy efficiency and the timely roll out of clean heat and electric vehicles. These policies are essential for a secure, fair and green future.

On 20 Sept, the PM announced changes to the UK’s net zero plans, including delaying the phase out of petrol and diesel vehicles and gas boilers, and removing energy efficiency targets. This will make it close to impossible to hit the UK’s legally binding net zero emissions goal by 2050, which all the major parties committed to at the last election. This is the Government abandoning its own targets, undermining global climate cooperation and investor confidence and putting British jobs at risk.
