Abstract
The UK government is responsible for meeting legally binding decarbonisation objectives, but it is not on track to meet its next carbon budgets or its net zero emissions 2050 targets. The IPCC’s sixth assessment report is a stark reminder of the importance of all countries, particularly those historically responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, devising and implementing the innovative and just policy solutions required to lower emissions. Within this context, this paper explores the UK’s sustainable energy policymaking, and why it is not on course to meet targets, through the lens of government-business relations. It analyses government policy capacity, incumbent energy company influence, and how complex relations and dependencies have affected sustainable policy (non-)decisions and outcomes. It reveals that an over-reliance on incumbent energy companies in UK energy politics, although understandable given the need to provide affordable and secure energy, has contributed towards insufficient space for cheaper and more just clean energy solutions.
