ClientEarth expresses concern over the incremental delays in publishing the Emissions Reduction Plan | Clean Growth Plan, noting that the government's timeframe shifted from December 2016 to "as early on in 2017 as possible". The organization argues that Sections 12 and 14 of the Climate Change Act require the plan to be published "as soon as is reasonably practicable" following the setting of the fifth carbon budget. ClientEarth highlights that institutional investors require a "detailed policy framework" to mobilize capital for the Paris Agreement targets and calls for a formal consultation process similar to the one used for the 2011 Carbon Plan. The letter demands a revised publication date and an explanation for any further delays.
