Government launches 'call for evidence' on net zero approach

The government has launched a call for evidence on its approach to achieving Net Zero.

The government says that the review is to "ensure we are delivering net zero in a way that is pro-business and pro-growth".

The review will consider how the approach to net zero can deliver maximum economic growth and investment, driving opportunities for private investment, jobs, innovation, exports, and growth right across the UK.

It aims to consider the support UK energy security and affordability for consumers and business and the need to rapidly increase and strengthen UK energy production and supply.

It also aims to minimise costs borne by businesses and consumers, particularly in the short-term.

The review will assess the economic co-benefits associated with different policies and how we can drive down the cost curve for net zero technologies. It will consider innovative approaches and ways of delivering our target that ensure the government maximises the economic opportunities presented by net zero.

The call for evidences aims to get feedback from consumers, employees and businesses alike.
