CIAT among 14 organisations calling for new PM to maintain UK's net-zero targets
Coordinated by E3G and written by the Professional Bodies Climate Action Charter, the letter calls for the leadership candidates to commit to delivering on the Government's net-zero and adaptation targets.
The letter states that the 'ongoing cost of living crisis and current heatwave have highlighted the acute risks if the UK Government does not proactively deliver a strategic approach to net zero.'
The Professional Bodies Climate Action Charter represents 13 million professional members globally across a wide range of sectors from science and engineering, law, health, construction and the built environment, and finance and insurance.
Heather McKay, UK Sustainable Finance Policy Advisor at E3G said: "Delivering the net zero transition is key for the UK's economic future. Professionals across the country want more good jobs, warmer homes, and lower bills. This will not happen without a strong commitment to tackle climate change from the new Prime Minister."
