On the postponement of COP26 due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, Energy UK’s Director of External Affairs, Abbie Sampson said:
“This is a difficult but understandable decision from the Government. We all want to see COP26 be the success it needs to be; so once we are able to move past the current global challenge posed by the coronavirus pandemic, we will need to regroup and rekindle the wide-spread commitment to meeting the net-zero target, because there is no time to delay.
“The energy sector stands ready to continue to lead progress on decarbonisation – not only our sector, but working with others such as heating and transport, to deliver benefits for the environment, customers and the wider economy.”
