Recommendation
The Seventh Carbon Budget delivery plan should set out explicit contingency arrangements, identifying in advance how mitigation would be strengthened if nascent technologies or greenhouse gas removals are delayed or underperform. These contingencies should prioritise accelerating proven measures, including energy efficiency, electrification, and demand reduction, rather than increasing reliance on uncertain technologies later in the pathway. (Recommendation, Paragraph 94)
