Here, President Joe Biden will outline a new national carbon reduction goal of the US. The UK’s new goal is seen as a step up from the previous goal of reducing emissions by 68% by 2030, which is already one of the most ambitious plans among the developed economies. To achieve this goal, the UK will have to make changes to most industrial activities, including: carbon-free electrical systems, reducing meat and dairy consumption across the country, introducing low carbon heating in the home and more forest. The UK is one of the first major countries to make a commitment to zero emissions by 2050. The United States is expected to adopt a similar goal under the Biden administration. Emissions from international aviation and shipping are likely to be included in the new UK target. As the COP26 host in Glasgow in November, the UK tried to persuade other countries to adopt more ambitious climate targets ahead of the meeting. However, the pandemic hindered the efforts of the economic CO P26 which was delayed for a year because of Covid-19. He is coming up with contingency plans that include a virtual summit, delaying the event, or a mixed model with only a small number of attendees. Summit Chairman Alok Sharma said: “We are actively working, of course taking into account any unusual cases related to Covid-19. I have no desire for procrastination any more. Prime Minister Johnson gave priority to green policies, enacted a ban from 2030 on the sale of new gasoline cars and major new targets for offshore wind production.
