Background

We believe the current drive for net zero is being rushed, and that this could be at the expense of communities and our fragile natural environments like water courses, peatlands and other habitats.
 
We think the cumulative impact of developments are not currently being adequately considered.
 
We think this cannot positively contribute to addressing the climate emergency.
