It is a UK government strategy that sets out plans to reduce climate-wrecking emissions and decarbonise all sectors of the UK economy, from transport to agriculture.
Some of the key policies outlined included a pledge to power the UK on green electricity by 2035 and a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030. A pledge was made to make the UK a “world leader in zero emissions flight” through use of sustainable aviation fuel.
