Chris Stark on Hitting Net Zero

My guest this week is Chris Stark, the CEO of the Climate Change Committee.

His job is to set the national carbon budget and then report to Parliament on whether we’re on track to hit net zero.

Earlier this year, his committee praised the Government for its ambition in setting targets but warned that ‘time was running out’ for the delivery plans to meet those targets.

He joins me on The Freewheeling Podcast to talk about how the carbon budgets are set, what needs to happen for surface transport to hit net zero, how the grid will cope with electric vehicles and whether the Transport Decarbonisation Plan is up to the job.
