U.K. to Counter Brexit Fears With Emissions Reduction Plan

摘要

Although formal talks to leave the European Union will take center stage in 2017, the U.K. government will press on with key environmental goals, which include setting out a new plan to reduce green-house gases, according to Monika Samoraj, a spokeswoman for Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark. Other priorities will include developing a low-carbon industrial strategy and a smarter energy system, improving air quality plans and devising a 25-year plan covering natural resources such as water, soil and peat-land, she said.
