An expert panel, the Climate Change Committee, has released a report urging the UK to accelerate its transition from fossil fuels to meet climate goals, noting a lack of credible plans for over half of pledged cuts.

A climate change committee report suggests that reaching the UK's net zero target by 2050 would be less costly than a single fossil fuel crisis, while also bringing health, economic, and security benefits.

Nigel Topping, chair of the Climate Change Committee, has warned that weakening the UK's net zero policy would disrupt businesses and damage the economy by undermining investor confidence.

Critics, including the UK Climate Change Committee, express concern that Scotland's new emissions strategy is too dependent on unproven technologies and lacks sufficient progress in decarbonizing buildings.

South Korea and Peru convened their inaugural joint committee on climate change cooperation, focusing on strengthening collaboration for international greenhouse gas reduction projects and Paris Agreement implementation.
