1.3 The Net Zero Strategy sets out policies and proposals for decarbonising all sectors of the UK economy to meet our net zero target by 2050. As set out in the Strategy, the government has committed to providing a public update on our implementation progress every year beginning from 2022, which will include: • Progress against a set of at least 24 clear ambitions and targets across different sectors of the economy – a list that will build over time to incorporate additional Government targets and wider non-government indicators of progress. • Commentary on contextual changes that might affect the exact pathway to meeting the government’s decarbonisation commitments. • A summary of key areas of progress made against the policies and proposals in this Strategy.
