BRITAIN still doesn’t have the right measures in place to meet its pledges on tackling the climate emergency, experts warned today in a damning assessment of the Cop26 summit.

Climate Change Committee chief executive Chris Stark said that the government “is nowhere near achieving current targets” on emissions, and that policies being pursued by governments around the world don’t come “close to” goals on global warming.

In its report on last month’s summit in Glasgow, the independent public body warned that the next 12 months are now “critical” for climate action and that Britain must urgently deliver planned measures to cut emissions.
