Stephen Marcos Jones, CEO of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE), which represents the companies who design, deliver and manage our national infrastructure and built environment, comments on today’s Climate Change Committee report.

Stephen said: “The CCC’s latest report paints an alarming picture. The government has an opportunity to lay a solid foundation for delivery through an updated Net Zero Strategy, which is expected in the coming days.

"But the government must work closely and in good faith with industry, including ACE and EIC, to establish and maintain a confident and robust non-partisan long-term policy approach that, quite frankly, is absolutely essential to achieving net zero."
