On March 30th, in what some have dubbed its \u2018Green Day,\u201d the UK government released a package of plans to advance its action on climate and the energy transition. A centerpiece of the package detailed how the government\u2019s plans will achieve the emissions reductions required in its sixth carbon budget.<\/p>\n

In this episode, Dr. Simon Evans, Deputy Editor and Senior Policy Editor of Carbon Brief<\/a>, rejoins us to review the highlights of the new policy package. Comprising over 3,000 pages across some 50 documents, the plans covered a wide range of incentives and objectives, including a new energy security strategy, guidelines for funding carbon capture and hydrogen projects, a revised green finance strategy, carbon border taxes, sustainable aviation fuels, mandates for clean cars and clean heat, major infrastructure projects, and much more.<\/p>\n

After listening to this two-hour interview, you\u2019ll know just about all there is to know about the state of climate and energy transition policy in the UK!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
