Further urgent action by government and business is needed to make low carbon energy a reality.  The legally binding “fourth carbon budget” requires that by 2025 emissions are halved compared to 1990 levels.  However, our latest progress report shows that only 0.8% of last year’s 7% fall in emissions was linked to proactive carbon lowering measures.  This rate of underlying progress is only a quarter of that required to meet the fourth budget.
