New Climate Change Targets

Recently, the UK government adopted a new enhanced 2035 target for emissions reductions, with COP26 in Glasgow this year, we should expect more enhanced targets.

The Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, 6 years later and nowhere near enough has been achieved. High-Level targets are great, but we need to change all the other laws/rules that are embedded in our societies and cultures to allow these targets to be met.

Cause for optimism, but at the grass-root level, there are still so many barriers;- planning, building regs, tax regime, labour and manufacturing resource, but the biggest barriers are education and money or should I say ROI. No planet, No returns!

When we built our training centre at Ecolution 4 years ago, we had no choice but to train people because of the skill shortage, this has only got worse.

Climate emergency is a great phrase, but it does not feel like we have even dialled 999 yet, let alone turned on the sirens and blue lights.

This is my personal rant, what's yours?
