division_name: Finance Bill &#8212; New Clause 28 - Review of impact of Act on the environment
motion: <p class="indent" pid="d401.1/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;this was not the year of policy progress that the Committee called for in 2019.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;these steps do not yet measure up to meet the size of the Net Zero challenge and we are not making adequate progress in preparing for climate change.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Announcements for manufacturing and other industry have been piecemeal and slow&#8230;There is still no strategic approach to drive change at the required scale and pace.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/7" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Buildings and heating policy continues to lag behind what is needed&#8221;,</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/9" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;are likely to require expensive zero-carbon retrofits and have missed out on lower energy bills.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/11" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;is welcome but not enough to match the size of the challenge and has been delayed while awaiting the National Infrastructure Strategy.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/13" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the current plans are far too limited to drive the transformation required to decarbonise the UK&#8217;s existing buildings&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/15" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the current voluntary approach has failed to cut agricultural emissions, there has been no coherent policy to improve the resilience of the agriculture sector, and tree planting policy has failed outside of Scotland.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/17" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;conduct an assessment of the impact of this Act on the environment&#8230;within six months of Royal Assent&#8221;,</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/19" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the United Kingdom&#8217;s ability to achieve the 2050 target for net zero carbon emissions&#8230;the United Kingdom&#8217;s ability to comply with its third, fourth and fifth carbon budgets&#8230;air quality standards, and&#8230;biodiversity.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d402.1/22" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;We either solve both or we solve neither.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d407.0/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d408.2/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;No country, however rich, can afford the waste of its human resources. Demoralization caused by vast unemployment is our greatest extravagance. Morally, it is the greatest menace to our social order.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d413.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;mission to reach Net Zero&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d417.2/7" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;are embedded within&#8212;not external to&#8212;Nature.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d417.2/9" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Unlike standard models of economic growth and development, placing ourselves and our economies within nature helps us to accept that our prosperity is ultimately bounded by that of our planet. This new grammar is needed everywhere, from classrooms to boardrooms, from parish councils to government departments.&#8221;</p>
