A climate change and energy policy expert is describing the government's draft emissions reduction plan as confused and very light on detail. The plan lays out how the government will meet greenhouse gas budgets on the way to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The document reveals we are no longer on track to meet emissions targets - a marked change from projections released under the previous Labour government. Rather than slashing emissions at the the source, the government hopes to get back on track through more tree planting and carbon capture technolgies. Charlotte speaks to Dr Christina Hood, the head of Compass Climate and climate change policy expert.
