Interactive: Labour Government Climate Change, Energy and Nature Inbox

The British Labour Party claimed victory in the general election, winning 412 of 650 seats, while the Conservatives recorded their worst ever result.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer ran for office on a manifesto promising major changes to the country’s climate, energy and environment policies.

Key commitments – reiterated by Secretary of State Ed Miliband in a message to officials at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero – include achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, re-igniting the country’s ambition to be a global climate leader and reshaping the country’s net zero strategy.

To achieve these goals, a Labour government will need to deliver sweeping changes to every sector of the economy, from a fundamental overhaul of the planning system to delivering a “just transition” plan for the North Sea oil and gas sector.

As well as delivering on its own manifesto promises, Labour will need to address the backlog of frameworks, strategies and international commitments that the previous government failed to deliver.

Labour also pledged to reverse changes to climate policy introduced by Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government.
