Carbon Emissions: Science
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to ensure scientific evidence is used to support net zero policies.
Answered by Martin McCluskey
Our approach is founded on the bedrock of the best scientific evidence which says clearly that ambitious action to reduce emissions is essential to limiting global warming and protecting lives and livelihoods.
That is why we supported the decision of Theresa May to put net zero by 2050 into law in 2019, a decision which is not simply right for climate but good for jobs and energy security.
