Why It Matters
Net Zero Week is important because it reinforces the UK’s national commitment to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Held under the authority of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the week highlights that climate action isn’t just about protecting the environment—it’s also about creating jobs, boosting energy security, cutting household and business costs, and supporting the growth of green industries. By combining public education with policy engagement, Net Zero Week helps turn climate goals into real, practical action that benefits both people and the planet.
Net Zero Week is a key moment in the UK’s climate calendar. It brings people together to learn, share, and take action on the road to a net zero future. Feel free to take part in a webinar, follow the discussions, and be part of the movement.
