GlobalWarming & ClimateChange News Desk – Rishi Sunak has said “banning things” is “not the right approach” to reaching net zero, as political debate over the costs of climate action heats up.

The prime minister said he was committed to achieving the 2050 target to curb carbon emissions, but in a “pragmatic and proportionate way”.

Some Conservative MPs have called for a rethink of green policies.

Mr Sunak spoke to the BBC after a court rejected a legal challenge to the expansion of London’s clean-air zone.

Friday’s ruling came in the wake of last week’s parliamentary by-election in Uxbridge and South Ruislip, where Labour blamed its failure to take the seat from the Conservatives on concerns over the extension of the zone to outer London.

Steve Tuckwell, the new Tory MP for the constituency, opposed Labour mayor Sadiq Khan’s plan to enlarge the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez), under which owners of the most polluting vehicles have to pay a daily charge.

In a month when intense heatwaves worldwide prompted grave warnings about climate change, the backlash against Ulez has propelled net zero back to the top of the political agenda in the UK.

In an interview with BBC Wales, Mr Sunak was asked about a study that found Wrexham had taken eight domestic return flights to play matches in the National League last season.

Domestic flights have a much larger carbon footprint per kilometre of travel than any other mode of transport, according to Our World in Data.

In response to the question, Mr Sunak said: “I don’t think that we’re going to get to net zero by telling everybody that they can’t fly anywhere or can’t do this or can’t do that. That’s not my approach to it.”

He said his government would strive to meet net zero without “unnecessarily adding costs and burdens to families, particularly at a time like now when the cost of living is a challenge for people with inflation”.

Mr Sunak said there was “lots of progress to celebrate” on net zero, but added “banning things and stopping people from doing things is not the right approach”.
