Last month, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was delaying the mandatory take-up of electric vehicles until 2035.
Australia’s top diplomat in London, Stephen Smith, says the UK needs to explain to the international community that it is not retreating from net zero, despite rolling back some climate mitigation measures, including the adoption of electric vehicles.of electric vehicles until 2035, in line with the European Union, as well as delaying the phasing out of gas boilers.
Smith said voters would have their say on Sunak’s new climate positions at the ballot box but that the changes would not stop Australia’s work with the UK on transitioning to clean energy. But Sunak’s positioning is in stark contrast to that of Boris Johnson, who as prime minister led global talks in Glasgow at COP26 in 2021 and pressured the former Coalition government led by Scott Morrison to sign up to net zero.Loading
