A not-for-profit organisation is taking legal action against the UK government's strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emissions, claiming it fails to meet its legal obligations under the Climate Change Act.

Not-for-profit Good Law Project launched a legal challenge to "force the government to revise and strengthen" the Net Zero Strategy by 30 June.

The group alleges that the strategy is unlawful because it fails to set out the policies or proposals needed to achieve its target, to bring the amount of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere down to net-zero by 2050.

According to the Climate Change Act of 2008, the government is legally committed to achieving this target.

"Right now, there is no way the government's Net Zero Strategy meets its legal obligations under the Climate Change Act," said Jo Maugham, founder of Good Law Project.

"The government may have set out a vision, but it hasn't set out the specific policies needed to lead us to net-zero, and it isn't measuring the emissions reductions its initiatives are meant to achieve," said Maugham.

"So while the government has set the grand target of net-zero by 2050, it fails to set out how we will actually get there. We believe this is unlawful."
