We're being bombarded with misinformation about the cost of net zero and political calls to "scrap it".

But the cost of climate inaction is already staggering – £40bn in gas subsidies, $1.4tr on climate damages last year, and soaring bills.

So what would be the cost if we did "scrap" net zero?

Still smiling from last night!

So far, our clean energy projects have avoided the emission of over 1 million tonnes of CO2 🌍

But it's important to report on and reduce emissions made in our operations – as we journey towards net zero.

Dive into our latest highlights 👇

Developing countries, especially China, led the clean energy charge, whilst the US and EU were more reliant on fossil fuels to meet increases in electricity demand.

So we need to keep pushing to accelerate the rollout of renewables in the UK – at the pace required by the climate emergency.

“Crucial turning point” for renewables according to new @ember-energy.org analysis 💡
