Further research is encouraged into whole systems modelling tools and applications to decarbonisation pathways, which will support strategic decision making on local vs central planning and the phasing of transition programmes.

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
