Good morning. As Rishi Sunak U-turns on many of the government’s climate commitments, the UK prime minister still insists that he is “absolutely not slowing down” efforts to combat the climate crisis maintaining that the UK was going “faster than anyone else”.
Sunak insists that the UK will still reach its net zero carbon emissions by 2050 target, despite delaying the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035 and pushing back the phaseout of gas boilers from 2026 to 2035.
