The UK Carbon Reduction Plan - Weaknesses and Opportunities
There are also gaps in the agricultural sector and in heat pump uptake. The government has made some important commitments to support the transition to a more sustainable energy system, but it has yet to implement its plans. For example, the government has committed to decarbonizing the power sector by 2035. Moreover, the government has the mandate to make all new vehicles in the UK zero emissions. Nevertheless, these policies have only a small effect on emissions.
One of the most pressing challenges for the UK government is to provide sufficient funding and delivery mechanisms for more ambitious and widespread emissions reductions. Less than 40% of the emissions reductions needed to meet the NDC are supported by existing policies. Moreover, the CAT's fair-share assessment of the UK's fair-share contribution to the global reductions required by the NDC shows that UK climate finance has fallen behind the UK's fair-share contribution to the USD 100bn targets.
The government has not provided sufficient carbon finance for emissions reductions in less developed countries, nor has it provided sufficient support for the emissions reductions that will be required in the UK. To boost its international climate finance contributions, the UK must increase its support for emissions reductions in developing nations.
