Chris Packham argued that the previous government’s delays in climate policies were unlawful, which was supported by a High Court ruling that decided against the scaled-back Carbon Budget Delivery Plan.
Packham described the actions of the former government as 'reckless and irresponsible short-termism', stressing the necessity of adhering to commitments for net zero emissions.
The settlement indicates that the new government will reconsider previous decisions made by the Conservative administration and update the UK’s carbon budget delivery plan.
The debate over the UK’s net zero targets highlights the tension between immediate economic pressures and long-term environmental responsibilities amid a rising cost of living.
