Net-zero targets are only the first step to tackling climate change

The UK government’s net-zero strategy was ruled unlawful because it failed to provide sufficient detail on how its net zero by 2050 target could be met. The ruling demonstrates that net-zero commitments are only the first step to combating rising global temperatures. And while pledges and targets are on track to meet net zero by 2050 or sooner, real-world policies and action are falling behind.
