Today, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced major changes to the UK’s key green policies during a speech at Westminster. He expressed his confidence that the UK can lead the world in green policies and that climate change is visible due to the high temperatures seen in the UK this summer.
The Prime Minister also spoke about the difficulties of imposing significant costs on people, especially when they are already struggling. He believes the UK should still strive for net zero carbon emissions by 2050 but in a more proportionate way.
As a result, Sunak is expected to delay the ban on selling new petrol cars from 2030 until 2035 and also delay plans to phase out gas boilers. Car manufacturer Ford has condemned this decision.
The Prime Minister is due to confirm these changes in a speech this week. He aims to set out a long-term decision that is mindful of the current economic climate.
