The UK’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) has recently released its recommendation for a cap on emissions over the five-year period of 2038–2042.
 

In this expert comment piece breaking down what it means to the UK’s efforts to reach net zero by 2050, Jessica Zionts, a DPhil student with the Climate programme at the Environmental Change Institute and Oxford Net Zero Researcher underscores the potential policy gaps in the CCC’s modelling of agriculture and highlights a positive shift away from over-reliance on BECCS in the UK’s net-zero strategy.
