Sadiq Khan faces criticism for not establishing interim carbon emissions targets in his campaign for London to achieve net zero by 2030. Zack Polanski of the Green Party argues that without these benchmarks, accountability is lost, and the city may fall short of its goals by the end of Khan's term in 2028. However, his deputy, Mete Coban, contends that London is demonstrating leadership in climate action and that the focus remains on fulfilling the 2030 objectives, which coincided with moving the original 2050 net zero target forward to 2030.
Zack Polanski criticized the lack of interim targets, warning that without them, London may fail to achieve net zero by 2030, risking an unaccountable future for the mayor.
Mete Coban defended the mayor's 2030 net zero target, arguing that interim targets are unnecessary and that the focus is on delivering on the ambitious end goal.
