If you're looking for a reason to vote for a party that promises a "net zero" economy, look no further than Britain's upcoming election.
The country's economy grew just 0.1% in 2023, compared to 0.4% in the US, according to data from the Office for National Statistics cited by the Guardian.
And while the UK has a "grand vision" of a "net zero" economy, it has no "vision like the US Act or the EU Green Deal," according to Forbes McKenzie.
"We continue to subsidize and promote expensive and damaging fossil fuel use and are failing to effectively the deployment of new technologies, processes, and business models," the CEO of McKenzie Intelligence Services says.
"The potential upside of green industrial action is billions in new opportunities and millions of new jobs."
According to McKenzie, a "net zero" economy requires a major shift in the economy, one that doesn't rely on fossil fuel subsidies.
"If we repurposed those funds we could finance the transition to a low carbon economy," he says.
"The trouble is that weather and nature don't follow borders, so we need to ensure co-ordinated responses, with resources that can be allocated as needed to the sources of the problem."
