Chris Skidmore launches call for evidence for his Net Zero Review.
People up and down the country will have the chance to give their views on how the UK can eliminate carbon emissions in a way that grows the economy, under plans announced today (29 September) by Chris Skidmore MP.
This is the first stage of the rapid three-month review by the former Energy Minister, examining how the country’s legally-binding net zero 2050 target can be met while also maximising growth, increasing energy security and in a way that is affordable for consumers and businesses.
Speaking at the Business Green ‘Net Zero Festival’ in London yesterday, Mr Skidmore, announced a broad month-long call for evidence aimed at the public, businesses and local authorities, giving them a chance to share their views on the green transition.
People will have the chance to offer their views on a range of topics, on everything from how cutting people’s carbon footprint will affect their everyday lives, to how reaching net zero will be paid for and what more can be done to capitalise on it to grow the UK’s economy.
