Stuart Lemmon, CEO of EcoAct, said: “The UK’s approach to achieving net-zero remains unconvincing. While the £4.5 billion investment into strategic manufacturing sectors to spur net-zero and the maintenance of the tax break for capital investment are most welcome, there remains an overreliance on unproven technology solutions. Meanwhile properly addressing domestic high-carbon activities directly has once again been missed, undermining the country’s position as a leader on climate change.”
