Chris Packham Forces UK Government to Reconsider Green Pledge

https://ethicalrevolution.co.uk/chris-packham-forces-uk-government-to-reconsider-green-pledge

Rishi Sunak announced in 2023 that he would drop green policies from the UK’s Carbon Budget Delivery Plan (CBDP), including:

  • a transition away from petrol, and diesel free cars and vans by 2030.
  • the phasing out of new and replacement gas boilers by 2035.
  • a ban on installing fossil fuel heating in homes not connected to the gas grid from 2026.
  • the policy to require all privately rented homes to be EPC band C or better for all new tenancies from 2025 and all tenancies from 2028.

Chris Packham legally challenged this abandonment of green policies.

A settlement has been agreed between Packham and the now-Labour UK Government in which it has confirmed that the previous government had acted unlawfully, and that it will reconsider its CBDP green agenda by May 2025.

The law firm representing Packham, Leigh Day, have published an article on this welcome news including quotes from Chris.

'Wealthy overseas #tourists put off from shopping in the UK by its hefty tourist tax are visiting France, Italy and other European countries to benefit from Europe's continuing tourist tax breaks.'

'The then #UK Chancellor, #RishiSunak, cancelled the 20% tax break in 2020 (the cancellation itself came into force at the beginning of 2021). Closing the incentive was intended to bolster the public purse without deterring tourists.'
