Mission Zero: The Independent Net Zero Review
by Chris Skidmore
Everyone is worried about climate change, and many of us want to do our bit to help. At the end of the day, however, it's governments that will have to take the lead. Mission Zero is by Chris Skidmore, a British politician (and medieval historian) and is the outcome of an independent review of 'Net Zero', the UK's policy to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050. It's written in bullet points, so it may not be bedtime reading, but it is essential reading if you live in the UK and are involved in public policy. Overall, "it's a detailed, structured and thoughtful plan about what needs to be done and how to achieve it," according to Charlie Maynard, a politician for a different UK political party.
