What is net zero?

Reaching net zero is essential for the future of the UK, but what does this mean? We need to ensure that the level of carbon we put into the atmosphere is balanced with what is taken out. Find out how we plan to reach this goal.

Enabling a fair and affordable transition to a clean energy economy.

Getting to Net Zero by 2050 would cost $9.2 trillion a year (McKinsey). That's not going to be good value for money. That's nearly one-tenth of global GDP. That money would be better spent on a myriad of things including educating the fifth of humanity who are illiterate and represent a 7% annual loss to the world's economy.
Maddeningly, there is no climate crisis. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past.
Britain trying to achieve Net Zero will essentially have no effect on the climate, but it will be immensely expensive and impoverishing for the British people.
