Why ditching climate change act would damage our nation
The Independent
|October 04, 2025
You have to hand it to Kemi Badenoch. She has united an extraordinary coalition today.
Unfortunately, against - rather than for - her position. In the face of her desperate pledge to scrap the Climate Change Act, a policy that would be an economic disaster and a total betrayal of future generations, businesses, unions, faith leaders, and even her own Conservative colleagues are lining up to condemn it.
This policy is anti-jobs, anti-worker, anti-young people, and anti our country's future. It represents not just a wrong turn, but a lurch away from a framework that has delivered for working people for nearly two decades. The Climate Change Act, passed by a Labour government with Conservative support in 2008, has been the foundation for tens of billions of pounds of investment in homegrown British energy. It was businesses that campaigned for this framework in the first place, recognising that clear rules and certainty could power innovation and investment.
