What is net zero and how are the UK and other countries doing? - BBC News

This source provides us with the key statistics for net zero targets set in the United Kingdom by the UK government, with the target being 2050.  This is a good source to use as it is published by the BBC as well as the source being clear, although some may limit its success due to government relationships with the BBC through ownership and state that it is biased.
