British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday laid out a shift in strategy towards achieving the country’s Net Zero climate action targets, including a delay of five years in imposing a proposed ban on petrol and diesel cars to 2035.
In a speech at Downing Street, the British Indian leader reiterated that there is no change to the UK’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions to hit its Net Zero target by 2050 but only a shift towards a more “pragmatic, proportionate and realistic path” to achieving that goal amid a cost-of-living crisis.
