What is the outlook for UK climate policy in 2024? Listen to Jason
Mitchell discuss with Chris Stark, CEO of the Climate Change Committee, about
how the implications of COP28 could reshape the UK’s global climate leadership;
what the Climate Change Committee is doing to advise the UK government on its
climate action and adaptation strategy; and why it’s vital we find more
powerful ways to drive the net zero transmission into the real economy into the
next carbon budget.
Chris Stark is Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee, and
previously Director of Energy and Climate Change in the Scottish Government
where he led the development of Scotland’s approach to emissions reduction and
the energy system transition. The Climate Change Committee, which was
established under the UK’s Climate Change Act in 2008, is an independent,
statutory body sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and NetZero that
advises both the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and on
progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of
climate change.
