- Carbon reductions not at the scale needed to meet the carbon budget
- Increased overall waste despite increased recycling
- Supply chain emissions remain the largest part of the Carbon Footprint Plus
- National electricity supply predicted to become more carbon intensive in 2023/24
- Need to prepare for the impacts of climate change (extreme heat, flooding)
