This is why we have set up an International COP26 Civil Society and Youth Advisory Council, so that we can hear the views of young people.

In April 2019, National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) announced it will be able to fully operate Great Britain’s electricity system with zero carbon by 2025. The ability to operate a zero-carbon electricity system in 2025 is a major stepping stone to full decarbonisation of the entire electricity system in 2050.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 22/07/2020 15:05:03 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
