REA and Industry Response to the Political Net Zero Pushback

Join us to discuss the current state of the political pushback to Net Zero and how the REA as a trade body and wider industry respond.

With mainstream press and political parties increasingly both pushing back hard against Net Zero and the risk of the cross-party consensus on the subject being corroded, this session will discuss the current situation, REA actions to counter it, and possible wider industry actions to address this challenge.

This political pushback comes despite new findings from YouGov, commissioned by Friends of the Earth, finding that there are high levels of public support where environmental policies strengthen British industry.  The survey revealed that 76% of Brits would support the renewable energy industry using more UK-made components.  Interestingly, this received cross-party favour, with support across the Conservative, Green, Labour and Reform parties polling similarly at over 80%.
