| Résumé : |
The UK paints, coatings, printing inks and wallcoverings sector has always adapted to changing conditions, including in recent years EU Exit and the coronavirus pandemic. The next great challenge is to tackle climate change, and put our sector firmly on the road to delivering Net Zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Net Zero refers to the balance between the amount of GHGs that are produced and the amount that are removed from the atmosphere. The Net Zero target refers to a Government commitment to ensure the UK reduces its GHG emissions by 100% from 1990 levels by 2050, based upon international agreements. This target was made legally binding by the Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019, and it was recommended by the Climate Change Committee (CCC), which is the UK’s independent climate advisory body. In June 2019 the Government said the UK was the first major economy to pass a Net Zero emissions law.
In October 2021 the BCF Board of Directors, on behalf of our members, pledged that the coatings industry will reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. The BCF is totally committed to help its members achieve this target and has therefore recently developed a sectorwide ‘Net Zero Roadmap’ along with a practical ‘Quick Start Guide’ to support its members on their individual Net Zero journeys. |
