U.K.’s Current Approach to Net Zero Needs to Change, Study Finds

A study by researchers at Strathclyde and Aberdeen warns the UK’s current net-zero approach is losing political and public support.

The report finds benefits of decarbonisation have not been evenly felt and public engagement on everyday sectors is limited.

It recommends more local, community-driven approaches to accelerate decarbonisation and rebuild public confidence.

The analysis notes infrastructure needs for renewables include up to 370,000 miles of new cables and thousands of additional pylons.
