Chris Stark, CEO of the Climate Change Committee, on the Promise of COP26, Net Zero and Climate Adaptation

Is the cynicism around net zero justified? Listen to Jason Mitchell
discuss with Chris Stark, Chief Executive of the UK’s Climate
Change Committee discuss the world’s expectations going into COP26;
what the Climate Change Committee is doing to advise the UK
government on its net zero path; and why it’s vital that we
frontload climate investment in order to turn strong words into
strong action on the reality of climate change. Chris Stark is
Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee. He was 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. Established under the
UK’s Climate Change Act in 2008, the Climate Change Committee is an
independent, statutory body that advises both the UK and
devolved governments on emissions targets. The Committee also
reports to Parliament on progress in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate
change.   Find the full transcript of this episode on Man
