How @UKLabour speed ahead on #netzero? My thoughts ⬇️ #energypolicy

NEW BLOG📣

Policymakers across Europe have woken up to the challenge of maintaining voter support for Net Zero.

Despite this trend, writes @basi_jasbir, with an election looming Labour is right to pledge to “speed ahead”, not retreat, from net zero.

The job of our lab is to produce great scientists as well as good papers, and this one is worth more than any Nature paper! @Andrea_Loreto1 is off to start his own lab solving eye disorders in Sydney. Job done! Oh and…..😭

[Ed King @edking_I]

Very sad to hear legendary #climate diplomat Pete Betts has left us. Here he is in his natural habitat in 2011 - representing the UK & EU, surrounded by global envoys. What a legacy.

[Nat Bullard @NatBullard]

I wrote a little something for @climate on a deep cut from the latest @IEA Net Zero Roadmap. Check it out - one of the better data tables in my library now

[Tone Langengen @ToneLangengen]

The emerging debate about net zero targets & costs shows that the politics of climate has moved into a new phase. Leaders who are serious about delivering net zero, must learn the right lessons & renew their approach.

Always in our hearts ❤️

Remembering the legendary Brian Clough, who passed away 19 years ago today.

[Ben Caldecott @bencaldecott]

This would be a major mistake and one that risks undermining investor and business confidence. We need credible policies to drive investment and realise the benefits of the transition to a cleaner, safer, and more productive net zero economy. https://t.co/pLs3A7v5Ok

[Sam Richards @sjarichards]

This is a big win for the thousands of @BritainRemade supporters who signed our petition calling on the Government to lift the ban on the cheapest source of power. Thank you.

Huge thanks also to MPs like @SimonClarkeMP who have campaigned tirelessly on this.

Let’s get building

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My Labour government will treat the transition to net zero as a national mission, driven by what is best for working people.

As prime minister, I will grasp the opportunity of lower bills, good jobs and energy security with both hands.

Worth reading this thread from @ToneLangengen on the politics of #netzero 👇

[Tone Langengen @ToneLangengen]

Recent weeks have shown how tricky the politics around net zero is likely to become. To achieve long-term support, progressives must get on the front-foot to develop strategies to address resistance to green policy. New blog from me and @BAMbrettem🧵

What could a mission-led @UKLabour government do on #NetZero

The UK's transition to net zero is at a crossroads.

Delaying action by a decade would double the costs to the UK economy.

@basi_jasbir outlines 3 key principles @UKLabour needs to make the transition to net zero a national mission for govt.

@nathansbennett definitely. Focus on delivery & creating the right investment incentives key

[Sam Richards @sjarichards]

Creating a new department is broadly pointless - unless the Government is willing to overhaul the planning system at the same time. You can’t make the UK energy secure - or hit our net zero targets - when it takes up to 13 years to build a new wind farm
