Net Zero Solutions 2020s

The document argues that the UK's 2050 net-zero target requires a systemic combination of technological, societal, and nature-based solutions, alongside innovative business models and regulatory changes. It emphasizes the need to prioritize research for sectors that are difficult to decarbonize and focuses on innovations for the 2020s across eight sectors identified by the Climate Change Committee.

• Reaching the UK's 2050 net-zero goal necessitates a systemic shift toward a regenerative society through a combination of nature-based, societal, and technological solutions.
• Meeting the 2050 target requires a broad range of interventions, including new incentives for behavior change, regulatory frameworks, and innovative business models to lower emissions across all societal and economic sectors.
• Scientists from the COP26 Universities Network state that research priority should be given to solutions for sectors where decarbonization is particularly challenging.
