Our record on climate change is strong, says Energy secretary Claire Coutinho

Summary by Ground News
Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho has defended the government's environmental record following criticism from the outgoing boss of the climate watchdog. Head of the Climate Change Committee, Chris Stark, told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that Rishi Sunak had "set us back" on climate change. Ms Coutinho said the government had a "very strong track record of delivery". However, she also said it did not want to "heap costs on families" in its pursuit of net zero targets. The UK is committed by law to ensuring that by 2050 its emissions will be net zero - meaning the country will no longer be adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases - such as carbon dioxide and methane - in the atmosphere.
