The UK's climate change strategy

In the latest episode of the IEA podcast, Kieran Neild-Ali, IEA Communications and Marketing Assistant, discussed the UK's climate change strategy with IEA Chief Operating Officer Andy Mayer. Andy analysed  the recent IPCC report, Labour's new 'Green New Deal' and the upcoming COP26 conference, highlighting the shortcomings of state intervention in tackling climate change. The pair discussed the free-market environmentalist alternative to heavy state interference and explored whether greener nations like the UK should make large polluters like China pull their weight in the battle to lower CO2 emissions.    Publications cited in the podcast:  IPCC report Climate change targets are rising at a dangerous rate Debate: The pros and cons of carbon taxes   Support the IEA on Patreon, where we give you the opportunity to directly help us continue producing stimulating and educational online content, whilst subscribing to exclusive IEA perks, benefits and priority access to our content https://patreon.com/iealondon   FOLLOW US: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/iealondon​​ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/ieauk/​​ FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/ieauk​​ WEBSITE - https://iea.org.uk/
