From Google's AI: UK CFOs need to get a grip on this.
According to recent reports from the Climate Change Committee (CCC), the chances of the UK achieving its Carbon Budget 6 are currently considered "low" or "significantly off track" due to a lack of sufficient policies and action across various sectors, despite the government's stated plans to meet the target; urgent and substantial policy changes are needed to reach the required emissions reductions by 2035.
Key points about the situation:
- Carbon Budget 6 aims for a 78% reduction in emissions by 2035 compared to 1990 levels.
- The CCC has expressed significant concerns about the UK's current trajectory, stating that confidence in achieving the target has "markedly" decreased since 2022.
- Key sectors requiring more action include transport, buildings, industry, and agriculture, particularly in areas like electric vehicle uptake, heat pump installations, and decarbonizing industrial processes.
- The CCC highlights the need for more robust policies across all sectors to ensure emissions reductions are on track.
