The UK is on track to miss its carbon targets in the 2020s, the governments advisers on climate change warned on Wednesday. Efforts to cut emissions are not happening quickly enough, and a looming policy gap will lead to a shortfall in the investment and infrastructure needed for a low-carbon economy, they said. Last year, UK greenhouse gas emissions rose by 3.5%, in a setback to the governments plans for stringent carbon budgets that stipulate steep falls in emissions from now to 2027. The rise was owing to the cold winter and more power coming from coal, which is currently cheap. Guardian (26 June)
