SSE welcomes the political consensus that has been built around the need to urgently address climate change and end the UK’s contribution by reaching “net zero” emissions. With the world coming to Glasgow for the UN climate change summit at COP26 at the end of 2020, there is the opportunity for the UK to show global leadership.
SSE believes that an ambitious, economy-wide, decarbonisation agenda – focussed on delivery – will put the UK on course to meet its net zero ambition. As the 2019 General Election campaigning gets underway we have outlined seven key steps to get us there.
