About this listen

We hear a lot about emissions targets when it comes to climate change – but are more of them needed and what effect do they actually have?

In this episode we discover:

  • What research shows us about how well emissions targets are working
  • If 'net zero' is a useful term for us still to be using
  • How we involve the public more in climate decisions

Professor John Barrett is joined by Climate Evidence Unit expert Sam Betts-Davies, and Professor in Energy & Climate Governance at Lancaster University and adviser to the UK Climate Change Committee, Becky Willis, to discuss whether additional emissions targets could keep the UK on track to meet its climate commitments.
