Summary
In 2019 the UK made a commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Since then the political consensus has broken down and analysts doubt that current government policy has any chance of reaching the net zero goal.

Is it even politically possible in a world of trade wars, Trump's anti-environment agenda and the rise of Reform? Producer: Emma Campbell Rare Earth is produced in association with the Open University
