British Prime Minister , Faces International Criticism , for U-Turn on Climate Policy.

'The Guardian' reports that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is likely to face legal challenges to his U-turn on net zero policies amid international condemnation.

The U.K.'s independent climate watchdog was among groups to express disappointment with changes to the nation's climate policies.

.

Opposition is now reportedly looking into ways to reverse the decision which would allow new petrol and diesel cars, as well as gas boilers, to continue being sold in the U.K. Even before the recent U-turn on policy, Friends of the Earth International and The Good Law Project were involved in legal action claiming the government's plans were inadequate.

.

Sunak’s decision to weaken U.K. climate policies will make it harder to meet our climate targets.

Our lawyers will carefully scrutinize any new set of plans.

Friends of the Earth has successfully taken legal action against the government’s climate strategy in the past – and we are prepared to do so again if Mr. Sunak’s sums don’t add up, Niall Toru, Friends of the Earth senior lawyer, via 'The Guardian'.

'The Guardian' reports that Sunak, undeterred by the wave of criticism, has promised to carry out his plan to roll back the U.K.'s net-zero goal.

The prime minister has insisted that his updated plan will save money for households and that he remains committed to hitting the nation's net-zero target.

I’m very happy to have opinions and advice from everybody, and everyone’s entitled to their view.

We’re very confident – being in government, with all the information at our disposal – that we are on track to hit all our targets, Rishi Sunak, via 'The Guardian'.
