  • Britain has been a global leader in fighting climate change. Now, the Tory opposition is backtracking. Quitting climate commitments would be a disaster for the UK.

The article by David Carlin for Forbes, published on March 24, 2025, titled "The UK Must Not U-Turn On Climate Action," discusses the critical need for the United Kingdom to maintain its commitment to climate change initiatives despite political and economic pressures. Carlin highlights the recent discussions and potential policy shifts that could see the UK backtracking on its environmental promises, such as the 2050 net-zero emissions target. He argues that reversing these commitments would not only damage the UK's international reputation but also jeopardize future generations' well-being. The piece emphasizes the economic benefits of green technology, job creation in renewable sectors, and the moral imperative to act on climate change. Carlin calls for sustained investment in green infrastructure, continued support for renewable energy, and adherence to international climate agreements, warning that any retreat from these goals would be a grave mistake.
