Ahead of the Committee's advice to Government on the UK's long-term #climatechange targets, due on 2 May, @ChiefExecCCC Chris Stark addressed @BusinessGreen's #TowardsNetZero event today. In case you missed it, here's the full transcript of Chris' speech:...

Chris concludes by saying: "It will not surprise you to hear that we're unlikely to recommend a loosening of the current targets for emissions reduction." @BusinessGreen #TowardsNetZero #UKClimateAction

"Many of the policies that will drive progress will not be designed in Westminster, Chris Stark says. "They are for Scotland's, Northern Ireland's and Wales' Parliaments to define and they may even be defined at a more local level", he adds. #TowardsNetZero

Fifth is governance: "It is legitimate to start a discussion about how well prepared the institutions of Government are for what comes next", Chris says, saying Climate Change Act has served us well so far, but is about to be tested as never before #TowardsNetZero @BusinessGreen

The second is costs and benefits. "In our retrospective on the last ten years, it's now clear that the costs of some of the key transition technologies are much lower than we thought they would be in 2008," @ChiefExecCCC says at #TowardsNetZero @BusinessGreen event.

Global warming can no longer be described as a 'future issue' says Chris Stark, before offering 5 key thoughts on where the UK now stands on tackling climate change. #TowardsNetZero @BusinessGreen

"We have to stop burning fossil fuels or start sequestering carbon, or both," says @ChiefExecCCC, and we "are now on the clock". If not, "we risk locking in a set of emissions that will not be easily unwound. The impacts are now really upon us," he adds #TowardsNetZero

Our @ChiefExecCCC, Chris Stark, is speaking at today's @BusinessGreen #TowardsNetZero event, beginning shortly. We will be live-tweeting some of his remarks here. #UKClimateAction
