Rishi sunak reacts to net zero backlash
Rishi Sunak has reacted to the backlash against his net zero policy shift by defending his decision and insisting that he is still committed to the target of net zero emissions by 2050.
Sunak has argued that the UK can afford to slow down on its net zero plans because it is doing well in this area. He has also said that he wants to make net zero more affordable for people and businesses.
However, Sunak's critics have accused him of watering down the UK's net zero commitments and putting the country at risk of falling behind other countries. They have also argued that his plans will harm the environment and the economy in the long run.
In response to the backlash, Sunak has said:
> "I understand that some people are concerned about the cost of net zero, but I want to assure you that I am committed to making it as affordable as possible. We are already seeing the cost of renewable energy coming down, and I believe that this trend will continue in the years to come.
> "I also want to be clear that we are not abandoning our net zero commitments. In fact, I believe that we can achieve net zero in a way that is good for the economy and good for jobs.
> "We need to take a pragmatic, proportionate and realistic approach to net zero. That means making sure that we don't impose unnecessary costs on people and businesses, and that we work with other countries to achieve our goals."
It remains to be seen whether Sunak will be able to win over his critics and convince the public that his net zero policy shift is the right approach.
