Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, declared the UK's legally established target of net zero emissions by 2050 "impossible" to achieve without detrimental impacts on living standards or potential financial ruin. She highlighted failures in current climate policies and plans to renew Conservative approaches to energy and environmental issues. Badenoch's remarks represent a significant departure from traditional party viewpoints, as she asserts that previous governments ignored the realities surrounding this ambitious goal, while committing to environmental protection through practical means.
Badenoch stated it is "impossible" for the UK to meet its net zero target by 2050 without significant drops in living standards or facing bankruptcy.
In her speech preview, Badenoch emphasized that current policies are failing to improve nature while simultaneously raising energy costs, calling for an urgent policy renewal.
