Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's recent delay to key climate targets will actually cost households more, rather than saving them money as he claimed, his own climate advisers have concluded.
In September, 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 said 20% of households would not have to replace their gas boilers with a low-carbon alternatives.
'If the government knew for years that some people would be negatively impacted then they could have made provision to protect those people rather than roll-back on targets.' In its analysis, the CCC welcomed some of the changes, such as the mandate on Zero Emissions Vehicles , which should see 80% of new cars sold with zero emissions by 2030.
