'The ball is in your court, Prime Minister'
CHRIS Packham has sent a legal challenge to the Prime Minister over his decision to delay the phase-out of new, Packham said he will apply to the High Court to challenge this in a judicial review - arguing that such a delay is unlawful given the Government is required to follow a series of carbon budget plans on the way to becoming net zero by 2050.
He said the Prime Minister is “playing populist politics with the future of life on Earth”, adding: “Even before this spontaneous, ill-judged and – we contend – unlawful announcement, the UK Government’s plans to meet its legal net-zero commitments were shambolic and destined to failure.
Any changes to carbon budgets have to be made according to a process in the Climate Change Act, which also requires the Government to set out how it will meet the upcoming sixth carbon budget, which Sunak has not explained. The Prime Minister has 14 days to reply to Packham’s letter or reverse his decision before the naturalist and TV presenter goes to the High Court.
