Consultation responses
Net Zero review
We responded to a call for evidence as part Chris Skidmore MP's independent review of the UK government's Net Zero strategy.
Sustainable electrification of the UK economy
We responded to a call for evidence from the UK's Environmental Audit Committee.
Reaching Net Zero is essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. It is also achievable, provided ambitious action is taken now by policymakers, business leaders and financial decision makers. The Net Zero Intelligence Unit exists to shed light on how to make the transition happen.
