LONDON (Reuters) – Britain could lose its spot as a leader in the global net-zero race and is lagging behind due to a lack of vision when it comes to decarbonisation, former British energy minister Chris Skidmore said on Wednesday.
“(The government is) missing a massive opportunity to be able to set out a vision … for what the future of Britain could be,” he said in an interview at the Reuters IMPACT conference.
“We are on this global net-zero race, we have been climate leaders in the past, we’re about to lose that leadership,” he said.
