The race to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 has begun. From China to the US, governments are heeding scientists' warnings that decisions and actions - or lack of both - taken this decade will heavily affect the chances of meeting the internationally agreed Paris Climate Change target. Yet, despite having decades to figure it out, nobody really knows what a clear pathway to net zero looks like; not all the technology is commercially developed and, as governments are all too aware, some policy changes will be politically tricky. Nevertheless, time is of the essence, and after a string of delays, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in November finally presented his government's opening gambit in the decarbonisation race: a £12bn-backed 10-point plan for a `green industrial revolution'. The plan was widely welcomed as the first phase to putting the country on a pathway to achieving net zero by 2050, even if the overarching Net Zero Strategy is still AWOL and not expected until sometime before Glasgow hosts the COP26 in November 2021. However, as it stands today, how achievable are the individual aims and what more is needed to kickstart the new green economy?.
