An opportunity to reignite climate leadership
With a new government for the first time in 14 years, the UK has an opportunity to re-establish its domestic and international leadership in tackling climate change.
CATF seeks to leverage this opportunity and build on the UK’s interest in exploring a range of options to achieve climate goals, including nuclear energy, carbon capture and storage, low-carbon hydrogen, and methane mitigation.
Nuestro enfoque
Domestically, the UK has made good progress on climate, but much of the effort has addressed the more accessible challenges. The energy transition is becoming increasingly complex, and difficult decisions need to be made on the allocation of limited public funds. With a renewed emphasis on climate and energy policy, CATF advocates for a full suite of low- and zero-carbon technologies that have the potential to support energy security, drive economic growth, and implement the UK’s climate goals.
Soluciones para una transición neta cero en el Reino Unido
The UK has long been regarded as a climate leader and has achieved clear progress, cutting its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% since 1990. There are important things to learn from the UK’s experience — it was the first major economy to legislate for net zero and the first to set legally binding carbon budgets. The UK also has a successful history of policy innovation, modelling new approaches to policy and legislation that have subsequently become widely adopted practices, such as the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme. Furthermore, as former COP26 Presidency, the UK spent over three years leading international climate diplomacy under the auspices of the UNFCCC.
The focus for the UK’s re-commitment to climate policy must be on accountability and implementation to achieve real deployment of climate and energy policy.
