UK moves deadline to ban gas, diesel cars to 2035

WriteCanvas News


UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a five-year delay in a ban on new gas and diesel cars.

The announcement also weakens a ban on new natural-gas home furnaces and scraps a requirement for landlords to make properties more energy efficient.

The PM aims to reduce the UK’s emissions of climate warming greenhouse gases to net zero by 2050, but with a more pragmatic, proportionate, and realistic approach, Mr Sunak said in a statement. He also rejected environmental proposals such as new aviation taxes, car-pooling measures, and meat taxes.

Has the UK PM watered down his goals to mitigate climate change?
While the industry and the observers offered a mixed commentary on the issue, WriteCanvas believes that the actions of nations must marry the promises made.

It must be noted that the UK pledged $2 billion to Green Climate Fund, its largest single funding commitment to tackle climate change at the recently concluded G20 Summit in New Delhi.
