NEW: Shipping emissions charge would raise £1bn for cash-strapped UK government for public services.

Extending the UK carbon market to ships entering and leaving the UK would raise significant amounts of money that would otherwise be lost at sea.

Nearly ⅔ of HGVs should be electric by 2040 to meet UK net-zero goals. This is also an economic opportunity.

On Monday we joined @welchtp & @GRIDSERVE_HQ to highlight regional opportunities in manufacturing, infrastructure & jobs.

Thanks to @PollyBLabour & all MPs who joined!

The UK is missing out on £1bn a year in tax revenues by not charging for shipping emissions.

This is a huge sum that could fund thousands of public service roles like doctors, teachers and nurses.

Growth and our climate do not need to be a loggerheads.

There are plenty of growth opportunities within aviation that don't come with setting off a "climate bomb", our UK Director Anna Krajinska explains.

How does the UK government expect to reach net-zero by 2050 while expanding its most heavily trafficked airports? First Heathrow, now Gatwick.

This is a crucial moment for limiting growth and scaling green fuels, not pushing for yet more expansion.

No tax on shipping fuel or charges on shipping emissions means UK taxpayers are subsidising the sector by millions of pounds every day.

A shipping emissions charge would raise £1bn a year for the gov without harming the economy.

Every year £1bn is lost at sea by not charging shipping emissions.

Charging ships for their fair share of UK shipping emissions is a win-win. The costs would mostly be borne by large, profitable ship operators at next to no cost to consumers.

It’s time to electrify Britain’s heavy-duty sector ⚡️🚛

Heavy goods vehicles are at the heart of our nation’s economy. A regulatory framework is needed to support the sector’s transition to zero emission vehicles.

UK EV sales are booming!⚡️🚗

January saw a record-breaking start to the year for EVs, with 21.5% of new car registrations fully electric.

Carmakers are stepping up efforts to hit their 23-24% 2025 target. The momentum is building with more affordable models hitting the market.

[T&E UK @transenv_UK]

There's no credible way the UK can expand Heathrow airport and still meet net zero by 2050.

Capping growth isn't a death sentence. It should instead be seen as an chance to grow its green industries and achieve the massive transition it needs to undergo in the next 30 years.

[T&E (🦋 find us @transportenvironment.org) @transenv]

How can the UK government aim to meet net-zero by 2050 and simultaneously green-light the expansion of a heavily polluting sector?

The decision to expand Heathrow airport sends the completely wrong message about where we should be headed.

Large, polluting, dangerous SUVs are taking over our streets. But there is an alternative…

Widespread rumors about the expansion of Heathrow, Luton & Gatwick airports is dystopian given the state of aviation's runaway growth.

Govs should focus on capping airport growth to meet net-zero by 2050, not giving a green-light to the expansion of a heavily polluting sector.

NEW: UK carmakers successfully complied with the country's ZEV mandate last year, resulting in a growing UK EV market and cheaper EVs for consumers to go electric.

These investments are vital for driving economic growth and safeguarding high-quality UK automotive jobs, as well as £6 billion committed by the charging industry.

Instead the government needs to focus on delivering a robust industrial strategy for the auto sector.
