Abstract

The UK faces severe crises in climate change and biodiversity loss, ranking poorly in global and G7 environmental indices. Despite setting ambitious emissions targets and biodiversity commitments, actual progress has been slow. Current green finance is insufficient and flawed, with private and public sectors struggling to meet goals. Effective government intervention is essential to create robust carbon accounting, enforce stricter regulations, and ensure green finance becomes a profitable and standard practice, aiding in the transition to a sustainable economy and environment.
