Scientists on the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) have published advice on the potential actions required for NI to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 (see page 9).For farmers, the report makes for difficult reading. But the same should apply to local politicians who decided not to accept a pathway for NI (which was backed by the UFU), whereby by 2050 we would cut emissions by 83% as part of our fair contribution to the UK achieving net zero by this date.
