Our latest assessment of UK progress is out today. Action is needed across all sectors of the economy, with renewables, heat pumps and EVs becoming the norm if the UK is to get back on track for its targets. theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…
The rate of emissions reduction seen in 2023 represents a significant increase from recent sustained rates and is roughly in line with the pace of change needed out to 2030. This pace will need to be maintained. In addition, the action to achieve it needs to spread across a broader range of sectors, with much of the reduction so far coming from electricity supply.

Our Climate Commission in #Leeds, created in 2017, was the first of its kind, but now there are climate commissions around the UK following a similar model. If you're interested in how to start one, @PCANcities have released a 'recipe book' for how to do it!
