NET ZERO IS 'THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE PROSPERITY' - WWF COMMENT ON INDEPENDENT REVIEW

Commenting on the publication of ‘Mission Zero: Independent Net Zero Review’ by Chris Skidmore MP, Tanya Steele, Chief Executive of WWF, said:

“This comprehensive review shows the grass is greener with net zero. Not only is it good for the climate, nature and our health, but it’s the key to our future prosperity. It’s concerning that the UK Government has been stop-start in its policies and implementation plans for net zero across renewable energy, food and farming and economic security – at a time we’ve never needed it more.

“WWF now urges the Government to take on the Review’s recommendations and deliver on its promise to meet the net zero target with a clear strategy – helping not only the planet, but families struggling through a cost-of-living crisis.”
