Businesses, Investors Push Back on UK’s Watered-down Climate Goals
Automotive giant Ford issued a harsh response to UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s plan to push back the country’s ban on the sale fossil fuel-based cars, arguing that the move will undermine government consistency needed to enable investment in the industry’s transformation.
Sunak announced today, however, that in order to “ease the burden on working people,” he will delay or eliminate several of the UK’s climate initiatives, including pushing back the ban on petrol and diesel car sales by 5 years to 2035, delaying and easing rules to transition away from oil and gas boilers and towards heat pumps, and removing home energy efficiency requirements, as well as ending moves to incentivize reduced air travel and meat consumption.
