In this episode of "All Things Climate Policy," Rakshith explores the complexities of climate policy and its global impact with Dr Simon Evans from Carbon Brief. As we navigate through a potential shift in the U.S. political landscape, Dr. Evans elaborates on how a Donald Trump victory could significantly increase U.S. emissions by 2030 compared to Joe Biden's plans. We also explore the historical emissions and responsibilities of various countries in contributing to the climate crisis. Dr. Evans provides a detailed overview of the UK's ambitious net zero policies and targets, discussing the primary goals, timelines, and strategies for a sustainable transition. Amid recent policy shifts under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, including the delay in banning new petrol and diesel cars, Dr. Evans assesses whether these changes could alter the UK's emissions reduction targets. Furthermore, we discuss how policymakers can ensure a just transition for workers and communities affected by the shift from fossil fuels. Dr. Evans also highlights recent technological breakthroughs in clean energy and dispels common myths about electric vehicles, addressing concerns like battery safety and longevity.
