Labour's climate policies: what are they and what do they mean?

The party trumpets a 'green industrial revolution' that unions back as a 'just transition'

What is the "green industrial revolution"?

The Labour party's answer to the climate emergency is to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by investing in new industries and reforms to existing practices, to generate economic opportunities, particularly in areas where old industrial jobs have vanished. The ideas behind it are similar to those of the international move for a Green New Deal, espoused by leading Democrats in the US, but draw on the UK's specific industrial resources, skills and heritage.
