He also reaffirmed the government's commitment to emissions reduction by 2050, despite facing criticism from Green Party Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick. She argued that the government's draft plan relies on unreliable technologies and tree planting, potentially hindering progress toward carbon neutrality and exacerbating climate-related risks.
