How the UK government is systematically failing to act on climate change. Essential and devastating report out today by @theCCCuk
Today we publish @theCCCuk annual report on progress in reducing UK emissions.
We reflect on policy progress in a year that brought the UK’s first recorded 40C day and spiralling fossil fuel costs.
And there’s a reality check on the acceleration needed for 2030 and beyond.

We agree!
