The new goal, unveiled by the Prime Minister at the UN Cop29 talks in Azerbaijan, is in line with the recommendation from independent advisers the Climate Change Committee (CCC) and with existing legallybinding domestic targets.

The new target was welcomed by climate campaigners, who called for clear plans to deliver it.
