The Senedd has agreed to set Wales’s fourth carbon budget (2031-35) at an average reduction of 73%, in line with @theCCCuk advice. It also agreed to achieve the third carbon budget (2026-30) through domestic action, setting the carbon credit limit at 0%.

ALT Wales is staying the course on net zero Over the last 10 years, Wales has risen to the challenge and met statutory emissions targets on the journey to net zero. We’re already more than a third of the way there and are seeing the benefits, like cleaner air and warmer homes.

4 °C of global warming cannot be ruled out by the end of the century, @theCCCuk has warned.
Richard Millar of @theCCCuk says that's a change "on the same scale as the changes between the current climate...& the last ice age."👇

Our new inquiry will examine the @theCCCuk’s advice on the UK’s next carbon budget.
We’ll be looking its modelling, technology choices and costs, as well as how it’ll engage the public and support behaviour change.

We welcome the appointment of @ELPinchbeck as the new CEO of the @theCCCuk.
The Climate Change Committee plays an important role in guiding the UK to net zero.
We look forward to working together to keep Britain at the forefront of clean energy, innovation and growth.
The Committee is delighted to announce Emma Pinchbeck - @ELPinchbeck - will be joining the Climate Change Committee as Chief Executive from 11 November. theccc.org.uk/2024/10/09/emm…

Yesterday, @BobDorisSNP stressed the importance of 2045 net zero targets being both ambitious and realistic.
He asked Dr Emily Nurse of @theCCCuk which information she thought Parliament needs to effectively scrutinise whether any carbon budget fulfils those objectives 👇

Tomorrow, we begin scrutiny of the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill.

We need to massively ramp down emissions urgently, and also adapt to the locked-in changes we’ve already caused
We know what we need to do - we just need to get on and actually DO it
Climate Change Committee retweeted
Our @theCCCuk Progress Report is out today. It sets out 10 priority recommendations to expand #climate action across the economy, including ramping up tree planting. It shows low-carbon technologies (EVs/heat pumps) must become the norm.

Worth a go I’d say
The UK must significantly increase the use of these technologies. By 2030, we need to see:
- New electric car sales need to go from 16.5% -> to nearly 100%
- Heat pump installations need to go from 1% to 10%
- Increases in offshore wind x3⃣, onshore wind x2⃣, solar x5⃣
ALT One of our key indicators on roll-out of low-carbon technologies is on track (public electric vehicle chargepoints), eight are off track (battery electric car and van shares of total sales, residential heat pump installations, electricity used in industry, offshore wind, onshore wind and solar operational capacities, unabated gas share of electricity generation).
