Which? comment on government weakening net zero pledges

Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said:

"Weakening the government's green targets risks endangering the business investment that consumers need to play their part in tackling climate change.

"Which? research has shown a majority of consumers are concerned about climate change and recognise their role to reduce their own impact. We welcome the increased grants for heat pumps but this needs to be delivered alongside firm targets that give businesses the confidence they need to invest. 

"Consumers need businesses to continue investing in new low carbon products and services, so the transition is as affordable and easy as possible. That includes the continued development of electric vehicles and improvement of the EV charging infrastructure, as well as ramping up the manufacture of clean heating systems and the training of new installers of those systems and insulation measures."
