techUK comments on calls to abolish the Climate Change Act

Scrapping the Climate Change Act would be a costly mistake. It has given businesses the stability to invest and innovate, driving £83bn in green tech contribution last year.

Pulling the rug from under firms now risks wasted investment, market confusion, and reputational damage across the country. UK climate tech is a success story, with the sector delivering essential net zero solutions.

The Act provides certainty. Dismantling it sends the wrong signal to investors and jeopardises our thriving climate tech ecosystem.
