POLICY ASKS
The Policy and Advocacy Working Group was set up in 2024 to work more closely with government and to advocate for stronger UK policy to accelerate the transition to net zero in a just and equitable way.
On 30 October, the new Chancellor, Rachel Reeves MP, laid out the Government's first Autumn Budget, providing one of the first real insights into their plans and priorities for managing the economy over the next five years.
In this blog, we assess the progress - or lack of - made in the Budget in addressing climate change and socio-economic inequalities, and argue where the Government must move faster and quicker to deliver better outcomes for people and planet.

Ahead of the UK's Autumn Budget Statement on October 30, 2024, UKYCC submitted a letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, urging the government to adopt bold measures that address climate change and socio-economic inequalities.
The proposals we set out in the letter focused on three main pillars: aligning economic decision-making with environmental and social needs, increasing investments in the economy and environment, and redistributing wealth.
