Boris Johnson pledges to ban new petrol and diesel cars from 2035 after claims his climate plans are in 'chaos'
Launch of strategy for crucial ‘COP26’ summit in Glasgow in November - but independent climate advisers called for ban by 2030
Boris Johnson is pledging an earlier ban on new petrol and diesel cars, as he hits back at claims that his attempts to lead the world in tackling climate change are mired in “chaos”.
In a long-awaited first speech on the climate emergency, the prime minister will call on other nations to match the UK’s landmark legal commitment to achieve ‘net zero’ carbon emissions by 2050.
“There can be no greater responsibility than protecting our planet, and no mission that a Global Britain is prouder to serve,” he will tell a London reception attended by David Attenborough.
However, the flagship announcement – to end sales of new polluting cars in 2035, rather than 2040 – will still fall short of the call by his independent climate advisers to act by 2030.
The government has faced growing criticism that it has failed to announce practical measures to achieve the net zero target, despite hailing it as a world-leading measure.
