Political will in the age of impunity

About political will in the age of impunity

The UK has pledged to reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Net zero means a country takes as much of these climate-changing gases – such as carbon dioxide – out of the atmosphere as it puts in.

The UK’s target is important to meet its commitments under the 2015 Paris climate agreement in which governments agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

However, in July 2022, the High Court ruled that the government’s net zero strategy failed to outline policies that would enable it to meet the target. As a result the government published a new plan.

Currently, less than 40% of the UK’s required emissions reductions are supported by proven policies and sufficient funding, according to the Climate Action Tracker website.

Chatham House

Brexit, for better or worse, means a major structural change in how people in the UK think about the food they eat. There is an opportunity to reformulate food policy for the better, but this could be easily squandered if not managed carefully.

Institute Global Change

The UK is in the throes of a multipronged crisis – sky rocketing costs of living, a backlogged and overwhelmed health service, and climate change. This winter, families could end up having to choose between heating their homes or feeding their families, over six million people are waiting for treatment from the NHS, and a heat wave over the summer sparked wildfires and damaged infrastructure across the UK.

Nature Food

Insufficient capacity in domestic food production, just-in-time supply chains and Brexit-related labour market challenges have weakened the UK’s food system. Building redundancy and diversity in the food system is essential for resilience in the COVID-19 recovery.
