today, we�*re announcing more investment in renewables like offshore wind, reviving the nuclear industry, developing new industries like carbon capture and storage, and as we deliver on that, we�*re going to create jobs across the country, increase our energy security, reduce people�*s bills and reduce our carbon emissions. now, because of a vote by parliament, the uk is legally obliged to reach net—zero by 2050. in terms of what that means, the un defines net—zero as "cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re—absorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests for instance". to do that by 2050, the uk needs to dramatically reduce emissions across many areas of our lives, from transport to electricity to how we heat our homes. and, so far, that�*s not happening quickly enough. the climate action tracker website says less than 40% of the uk�*s required emissions reductions are currently supported by proven policies and sufficient funding,
