Legislate the Circular Economy Bill and set targets to reduce waste and improve recycling rates beyond 2025, ensuring these are more ambitious than existing targets.
Seek to address price imbalances between aviation and surface transport, once aviation taxation is devolved to Scotland, encouraging the low-carbon alternative (e.g. Scale up action to deliver targets across all sectors in line with the ambition set out in the recent Climate Change Plan update. Publish the analysis that supports the total and sectoral pathways set out in the Scotland's Climate Change Plan update. Provide detail on how post-CAP agricultural subsidies and schemes in Scotland will target incentives and delivery for climate mitigation alongside wider environmental goals such as climate change adaptation and biodiversity. This should include an online platform including high-level trusted information and advice (including on Government schemes), a link to local providers who can undertake assessments of home energy performance, and bespoke support for households wishing to undertake more complex retrofits. These legacy costs create a market distortion.Ĭreate a public energy advice service to provide households with guidance on decarbonising and adapting their homes to climate change by this summer, as committed in the Energy Security Strategy. Set out and implement additional policies necessary to achieve waste reduction and recycling targets, as part of delivering the Beyond Recycling Strategy more broadly.Ĭross-cutting Manufacturing and construction BuildingsĪs part of reforms to electricity pricing, remove legacy policy costs associated with the historical deployment of less mature low-carbon electricity generation from electricity prices. Set ambitious recycling targets for 2030 and beyond, improving on the 70% target for 2025. Publish the analysis that supports the total and sectoral pathways set out in the Second Welsh Carbon Budget. The findings of this review should inform future incineration/EfW capacity decisions and consider the feasibility of phasing out waste exports by 2030. Publish an assessment of residual waste treatment capacity needs through to 2050, consistent with meeting committed and prospective recycling and waste reduction targets, expected resource efficiency improvements and the stated goal to end the landfilling of biodegradable waste by 2025. Provide detail on how post-CAP agricultural subsidies and schemes in Wales will target incentives and delivery for climate mitigation alongside wider environmental goals such as climate change adaptation and biodiversity. Recommendations to Government Table 1.11 Recommendations for the Government It should prioritise making those new mechanisms work in practice and strengthening global 2030 ambition, while preparing for a focus on climate finance and adaptation at COP27 in 2022 and COP28 in 2023.Įmissions rose 4% in 2021 compared with 2020 as the economy began to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.Ĥ. The UK presidency of the UN COP26 climate summit in Glasgow last November successfully strengthened long-term global ambition and introduced new mechanisms to support delivery. The UK must build on a successful COP26.The Net Zero Strategy contained warm words on many of the cross-cutting enablers of the transition, but there has been little concrete progress. There remains an urgent need for equivalent action to reduce demand for fossil fuels to reduce emissions and limit energy bills. Action to address the rising cost of living should be aligned with Net Zero.Some may be more successful than expected, while others will fall behind.
Not all policies will deliver as planned. Successful delivery of changes on the ground requires active management of delivery risks.With an emissions path set for the UK and the Net Zero Strategy published, greater emphasis and focus must be placed on delivery. Tangible progress is lagging the policy ambition.The UK Government now has a solid Net Zero strategy in place, but important policy gaps remain.
