Chris Stark, Climate Change Committee CEO, on Reassessing UK Global Climate Leadership

What is the outlook for UK climate policy in 2024? Listen to Jason
Mitchell discuss with Chris Stark, CEO of the Climate Change
Committee, about how the implications of COP28 could reshape the
UK’s global climate leadership; what the Climate Change Committee
is doing to advise the UK government on its climate action and
adaptation strategy; and why it’s vital we find more powerful ways
to drive the net zero transmission into the real economy into the
next carbon budget. Chris Stark is Chief Executive of the Climate
Change Committee, and previously Director of Energy and Climate
Change in the Scottish Government where he led the development of
Scotland’s approach to emissions reduction and the energy system
transition. The Climate Change Committee, which was established
under the UK’s Climate Change Act in 2008, is an independent,
statutory body sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and
NetZero that advises both the UK and devolved governments on
emissions targets and on progress in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate
change.
