Cut ‘net zero’ from name of UK net zero department, MPs urge

A cross-party committee is urging the UK government to scrap the term ‘net zero’, describing it as too toxic. The group argues that the phrase has become a lightning rod for opposition to climate action, hindering efforts to tackle climate change. Consequently, MPs are calling for a major rebranding of the initiative, specifically suggesting that the term be removed from the name of the UK net zero department to reduce political friction and resistance.
