Delays to climate targets will cost renters and drivers more money, government advisers conclude

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's recent delay to key climate targets will actually cost many households more, rather than saving them money as he claimed, his own climate advisers have concluded. In a major speech last month, Mr Sunak pushed back the end of new petrol and diesel car sales from 2030 to 2035, and scrapped a plan to make landlords improve the energy efficiency of their properties, which would have saved renters money on bills. He also exempted some households from replacing gas boilers with a greener alternative, as part of a "pragmatic" rethink on the cost of the UK's net zero climate policies. Amid scepticism over the prime minister's claims he was saving homes thousands of pounds, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), ran the numbers on the impact on people's pockets.
