"The High Court is hearing three separate (but related) legal challenges – brought by Friends of the Earth, ClientEarth and The Good Law Project – to the government’s Carbon Budget Delivery Plan (CBDP), the country’s economy-wide decarbonisation plan."
Lord Deben:
“The government is relying on everything going to plan with no delays or unforeseen circumstances, and on technologies which have either not been tested or indeed on which testing has not even started.
“From what I have seen of the evidence provided to the court, the Secretary of State was not given enough detail on the level of risk associated with the policies in the plan. This meant that he could not see how many of them were likely to fail to achieve their end.
“When you see that evidence, to me it’s clear that the present programme does not provide the necessary assurance that we can meet our statutory duty to reach net zero by 2050. I know of no other government policy which is premised on everything going exactly right.”

The Government didn’t want to publish these #ClimateRisk tables
#CarbonBudgetDeliveryPlan #ClimateTargets
Despite the #Tories’ repeated claims that the UK is a “world leader” in #ClimatePolicy, the risk tables reveal the Government has declared its own policies rely on technology that has “never been deployed at scale”, are “not… possible at current funding levels” and beset with “inherent uncertainties and risk”
