But make no mistake \u2013 that other crisis, climate change, has not gone away.<\/p>\n<p>Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policy.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Policy@Manchester<\/a> publishes <a href=\"https:\/\/policyatmanchester.shorthandstories.com\/on-net-zero\/index.html#group-Foreword-uM91dCqsx2\">On Net Zero<\/a> \u2013 a report that calls for a serious re-think of the UK\u2019s approach to our current net zero target. A collaboration between academics from across the University, the report comprises thought leadership pieces and expert analysis on vital issues such as carbon offsetting, carbon emissions in transportation, fuel poverty, social sustainability and renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last six months, as countries around the world entered various states of lockdown; commuters parked their cars; factories and offices closed their doors and the skies fell silent as planes were grounded, carbon emissions fell significantly. However, these results are temporary, and as a \u2018back-to-business\u2019 approach is taken and governments work to reignite stagnant economies, the risk of returning to bad habits is real.<\/p>\n<h3>Seizing the new normal<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-535 size-uom-post-size\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/08\/Manc-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must seize the opportunity to make the COVID-19 recovery a defining moment in tackling the climate crisis,\u201d says Lord Deben, Chairman of the Committee on Climate Change, in his forward for the report. \u201cWe must take urgent steps to frame a recovery from COVID-19 that both accelerates the transition to net zero and strengthens our resilience to the impacts of climate change, whilst driving new economic activity.\u201d The steps taken by Parliament now will \u201cdefine the pathway\u201d for years to come, Lord Deben notes.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, with the UK poised to take on the presidency of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Scotland this November, Lord Deben warns that Britain\u2019s \u201ccredibility is on the line\u201d as it leads the world\u2019s response to climate change in the wake of the biggest global challenge we have faced for generations.<\/p>\n<p>Coronavirus has rocked the world as we know it \u2013 but the markers of climate change remain there for all to see. Hot dry summers; extreme flooding; shrinking ice sheets; vanishing glaciers; rising sea levels \u2013 \u201cthe need to act couldn\u2019t be clearer\u201d, says Lord Deben.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the UK government committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, meaning that any emissions the country produces are balanced out by an equivalent amount of emissions being absorbed.<\/p>\n<p>Achieving this requires policy informed by science and set by government. It means encouraging businesses to invest in zero-carbon technology and initiatives. It requires the creation of a new and skilled workforce able to build a net zero economy. And it needs the involvement and support of the British public. A net zero commitment means there is a role for everyone to play, from the individual household to the international corporation.<\/p>\n<p>As Professor Carly McLachlan, Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyndall.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Tyndall Manchester<\/a>, points out, green projects \u201ccreate more jobs, deliver higher short-term returns and lead to increased long-term cost savings\u00a0compared with traditional fiscal stimulus\u201d. She adds: \u201cAs well as interventions targeted to support accelerated growth in low carbon sectors, bailouts and other support must come with conditions that support and facilitate transition to a net zero pathway for all sectors of the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Towards net zero<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2222 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2019\/09\/Fast-fashion-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2019\/09\/Fast-fashion-2-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2019\/09\/Fast-fashion-2-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So why net zero? As Prof McLachlan explains, as part of the 2016 Paris Agreement the UK committed to ensuring the global temperature rose by \u201cwell below 2 degrees C\u201d above pre-industrial levels this century. In fact, the aim is to ensure the increase is limited to 1.5 degrees C. But approximately 1 degree of warming has already occurred. Upholding the Paris Agreement pledge has, therefore, never been more important to the future of the planet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must fundamentally challenge our existing unsustainable patterns of consumption and their associated infrastructure,&#8221; urges Prof McLachlan. Now is the time to pull together \u2013 not only to recover from the crisis wrought by COVID-19, but to heal the planet and safeguard its future. 2020 could yet be the most important year in human history.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/policyatmanchester.shorthandstories.com\/on-net-zero\/index.html#group-Net-Zero-explained-Obu5bfe59f\">read On Net Zero in full here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Words &#8211; Hayley Cox<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Images &#8211; The University of Manchester<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today sees the launch of On Net Zero \u2013 a new report from The University of Manchester that collates thought pieces on important climate issues.
