Who we are

The Zero Carbon Campaign is calling on the Prime Minister to introduce carbon pricing across the UK economy ahead of COP26, which the UK will be hosting in Glasgow in November 2020. Committing an initial £1 million of his own money to support the campaign, Founder Stephen Fitzpatrick is convening scientists, economists and business leaders to work through the challenges of implementing such a policy in a way which protects Britain’s least well off.
