The UK government will implement a levy by 2027 on goods imported from countries with a lower or no carbon price to ensure that foreign goods face a comparable carbon price to those produced domestically.
with the science and won t do much to keep temperatures down. but there is a lot of hope, people are pinning their hopes on the idea of a carbon levy of $100 per tonne of carbon that ships use. that s still on the table and many believe if that is put into place and implemented it could lead to much greener shipping in the decades to come. environment correspondent in the decades to come. environment correspondent matt in the decades to come. environment correspondent matt mcgrath, - in the decades to come. environment correspondent matt mcgrath, thank l correspondent matt mcgrath, thank you. police are continuing to question a woman about a car crash outside a school yesterday which killed an eight year old girl. 16 people needed treatment after a land rover crashed into the study preparatory school in south west london. mark lobel reports from wimbledon. emotions laid bare this morning after the school crash. flowers and soft toys in memory of an eight year old girl and her class
negotiating that deal. until the last moment we were not sure what we would get, if we would get anything, and it is good that there is this final deal but it s very clear that this deal is not the right response the climate urgency we are facing. there is no carbon levy, there appeared to be no particular sanctions, there are these indicative checkpoints by the year 2030 which were supposed to have cut emissions by 20%, in terms of the criticisms we have heard from environmental campaigners, do you think they are valid? think they are valid? absolutely, because two think they are valid? absolutely, because two major think they are valid? absolutely, because two major issues - think they are valid? absolutely, because two major issues were l think they are valid? absolutely, l because two major issues were on think they are valid? absolutely, - because two major issues were on the table, setting new targets and discussing the measures, regulatory tools, how to implement them. in te
that we have been here negotiating. until the last moment, we were not very sure what we re going to get, if we re going to get anything. and it is good that there is this final deal, but it s very clear that this deal is not the right response for the climate urgency that we are facing. there s no carbon levy. there appear to be no particular sanctions. there are these indicative checkpoints. by the year 2030, they re supposed to have cut emissions by 20%. in terms of those criticisms we ve heard from environmental campaigners, do you think they are valid? absolutely, because two major issues were on the table setting the new targets and discussing the measures, regulatory tools, how to implement them. in terms of targets, three key dates are important 2030 target, 2040 target, 2050 target. obviously, media and the outside world has vocalised on the 2050 target.
put in place, the emissions from shipping are likely to go up even in the light of this deal so what is disappointing is that there is no hard target for 2030 or 2014 which are critical to get to net zero by 2050. there are aspirational checkpoints but there is no big stick to make countries or companies do this, it s all in good will, however i guess there is a lot of hope pinned on the idea of a carbon levy, $100 a tonne is being mooted by pacific island states, if that is implemented over the next number of years, that could pressurise ships into going further and faster on the emissions cuts, and may be the stick if you like that gets shipping towards net zero by 2050. what if you like that gets shipping towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is this towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is this about - towards net zero by 2050. what is the answer? is this about using
