Government publishes Net Zero Review

Chris Skidmore MP was commissioned to review the Government’s approach to delivering its net zero target in September 2022, and published his Review on 13 January 2023. 

The Review sets out the opportunities presented by the transition to net zero and provides recommendations to the Government and industry aimed at seizing those opportunities, including through green finance regulation. 

The recommendations on green finance regulation aim to ensure regulatory certainty, clarity, continuity and consistency to galvanise momentum and facilitate capital allocation to support the UK’s net zero ambitions through clear standard setting. The Review makes recommendations relating to UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements, the UK Green Taxonomy, greenwashing, stewardship and nature. These recommendations, which were informed by extensive industry engagement, could shape the Government’s priorities for green finance regulation.
