In their interim report, the Zero Carbon Commission have outlined a series of proposals for strengthening and extending carbon pricing across the UK economy.

We know that studying reports can can be pretty time intensive, so we thought we would bring the proposals to you via this (hopefully) handy infographic.

The aim is to offer the Government a roadmap for achieving emissions reductions at the pace and scale necessary to reach net zero, whilst funding a green recovery from COVID-19.

This roadmap demonstrates how stronger sector-specific carbon pricing can be gradually introduced alongside a series of complementary policies and revenue recycling schemes, to incentive the roll out of low-carbon and carbon removal technologies, whilst protecting households from unmanageable costs.

Next steps

The next and final stage of the Commission's work will be the publication of a full White Paper, which incorporates and builds upon feedback on the interim proposals. If you'd like to get in touch to discuss the recommendations, then you can contact us here.
