The UK’s independent adviser on tackling climate change.

Joined February 2009
The UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget level should be set at 535 MtCO2e, an 87% reduction against 1990 levels. This country has a prosperous and secure future ahead. The fossil fuel age is over – it’s time to electrify the United Kingdom. https://t.co/hNgr0emXqD

The @WelshGovernment has just proposed the level of Carbon Budget 4 (2031-35), accepting @theCCCUK’s advice to aim for a 73% reduction compared to emissions in 1990. Check out our article for more context 📉 ➡️ https://t.co/RSAScJWo4W

Our new inquiry will examine the @theCCCuk’s advice on the UK’s next carbon budget. We’ll be looking its modelling, technology choices and costs, as well as how it’ll engage the public and support behaviour change. Share your views 👇

The Climate Change Committee is using cost assumptions for offshore wind that do not reflect reality. These inaccurate costings are being used to justify spending hundreds of billions of pounds and transforming our entire economy. They must correct them. My letter to the CCC👇🏾

We make recommendations to Government about what needs to be done in the report - starting with a clear adaptation target that we can measure and monitor.

Estimates suggest that unchecked climate change could impact UK economic output by up to 7% of GDP by 2050, creating challenges for driving sustainable long-term growth across the country.

Heat-related deaths already occur in the thousands each year but could rise several times over to exceed 10,000 in an average year by 2050. This increase is driven by the effect of climate change on a growing aging population, which is increasingly vulnerable to extreme heat.

Over a third of railway and road kilometres are currently at flood risk, predicted to rise to around half by 2050. Extreme heat also disrupts infrastructure systems via rail buckling and power line sagging.

6.3 million properties in England are in areas at risk of flooding from rivers, the sea, and surface water. This is predicted to rise to around 8 mil (1 in 4) by 2050. Steadily rising sea levels at the UK’s coasts will increase the risk of flooding and exacerbate coastal erosion.

Over half of England’s top quality agricultural land is at risk of flooding today, with a further increase in total agriculture land at risk expected by 2050. Climate change also poses a major threat to UK biodiversity, at a time when it is degrading rapidly.

What does this look like in the UK? A rise in the amount of heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and wildfire-conducive conditions. This impacts infrastructure that matters to us all: schools, hospitals, care homes. It impacts our workplaces and where we live.

Today, we are being very clear in our assessment of progress on adaptation. Extreme weather in the UK is increasingly likely. The country is not appropriately prepared for this. https://t.co/xGCu6JlNab

By 2050, if our pathway is delivered against, annual household energy bills are predicted to be ~£700 cheaper than today, and household driving bills are predicted to be ~£700 cheaper than today.

In many key areas of the transition the way forward is clear. Globally, the world now invests almost twice as much in clean energy as it does in fossil fuels, with clean energy investment expected to reach $2 trillion in 2024.

Around 65-90% of the required investment will be paid by the private sector. But we will need targeted public investment too. It’s important that policymakers ensure this money goes in the right place - to unlock private investment.

This will require initial investment, but we expect to start seeing savings in the Seventh Carbon Budget period. We think it’ll cost about 0.2% of GDP from now to 2050. This is less than we thought when we last gave advice in 2020.

We’ve looked at what this means for a household. We commissioned a citizen’s panel and have thought about what this means for each one of us over the next 25 years.
