Big strategic bets needed as government advisers warn the risk of delay in addressing climate change is now greater than the risk of 'over-correction'
, said: “A further year of prevarication risks losing momentum on critical areas like achieving the statutory net zero target. Rarely has the need for speed been more evident.“This means fewer low-stakes incremental changes and instead placing some bigger strategic bets, backed by public funding where necessary – after all, the risk of delay in addressing climate change is now greater than the risk of over-correction,” he said.
Efforts to decarbonise the transport sector have also stalled the NIC says. “The Government expects 300,000 public electric vehicle charge points to be in place by 2030, but“Government continues to expend too much effort on many small scale funding interventions and repeated consultations, trying to maintain optionality in all areas,” it said. “Making small steps forward in all directions will not bring about the scale of change in infrastructure needed.
The Commission says funding should be agreed over multi-year periods with combined authorities which should also be allowed greater freedom to raise revenues locally.and points out the average project takes around four years to get through the planning system, compared two and a half years, a decade ago.
Recycling efforts across the country had stagnated it says and rapid action is needed or else key targets surrounding waste sector emissions “will be missed.” Local authority collected waste recycling rates had levelled out during the last decade and “appear well off track” for the Government’s target for 65 per cent recycling by 2035.
