FETA members uncertain of COP 27 impact

The recent FETA poll questioning the difference COP 27 will make in the race to decarbonise the UK economy has returned a mixed response from members, with the majority - 60 per cent - believing the climate change conference will make a negligible difference in helping the UK meet net zero targets. 

Though many FETA members are sceptical that COP 27 will lead to meaningful change, 40 per cent of respondents take an opposing view, believing that the Sharm el-Sheikh based summit will make a significant difference in the UK’s battle to decarbonise.

The conference closed on 20^th November after reaching a late agreement to provide loss and damage funding for vulnerable countries hit hard by climate disasters but also faced criticism for a lack of progress on cutting worldwide emissions.
