The UK Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, is being criticized for planning to delay climate targets. Critics argue that the UK government is currently promoting an anti-green drive. Realisation of these plans could result in the UK delaying its goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Green activists and climate experts claim this as a setback in the fight against climate change. It signals that the UK might backtrack on its environmental commitments, undermining the global effort to avert the climate crisis.
Despite international calls for urgent action, Sunak argues for balance between environmental responsibility and economic stability. This stance fuels accusations that the UK is weakening its green commitment to protect corporate interests.
