The Government’s plan sets out how the UK will continue to reduce emissions in line with the Climate Change Act, while capturing the benefits of clean energy: lower bills, good jobs, warmer homes and cleaner air. It provides the national framework for growth through decarbonisation.

The Sector Transition Plans, launched by the Net Zero Council and supported by the Broadway Initiative, take that framework relevant to the level of each industry. They provide a practical roadmap for how every major sector, from housing and transport to agri-food and finance, can work with government and investors to deliver the transition.

The climate plan defines the destination and the benefits of the transition. The Sector Transition Plans map the routes and responsibilities to get there.

The timing of these announcements shows strong alignment between government policy and sector delivery. It signals that the UK’s transition is moving into a new phase, one where ambition is matched by clear pathways, investment frameworks, and the shared effort needed to make the transition real.
