'We are more likely to see new glaciers form than strong and clear leadership on climate from this Government,' says CarolineLucas

prime minister saying he would prioritise the climate crisis during the UK’s presidency of the G7

Yes, we’ve had new targets – the aim of 78% cuts to emissions by 2035 compared to 1990 levels, an earlier phase out of petrol and diesel vehicles and a pledge of 30% land for nature by 2030.But targets achieve nothing without detailed plans to achieve them, and we are still waiting for those in full.

Even if all the policies in the 10-point plan were implemented – and some like jet zero, carbon-free shipping, carbon capture, usage and storage were highly speculative – they may not be able to close the gap of where our carbon emissions are supposed to be by 2032 and where they’re heading.
