How Do We Move from Climate Ambition to Action?

• According to the Government’s ‘Build Back Better’ plan, 80 percent of UK emissions come from infrastructure sectors, including power, heat, heavy industry and transport. Therefore, decarbonising the industry will be a critical part of the nation’s Net Zero transition plan.
• Ecosystems are under pressure from pollution, intensive agriculture and farming. 41 percent of species in the UK have been decreasing in abundance since 1970. A further 15 percent of species are in danger of extinction.
• The Government can support climate transition plans by creating legally binding targets to reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 and expand the commitment to protect 30 percent of the UK’s land by 2030.
