Friends of the Earth's Sandra Bell makes clear: climate change threatens British food security, not solar farms. Using under 1% of UK farmland, renewables leave room for both energy and agriculture.

Drawing on fresh data from the CBI, TUC, and UK Steel, this analysis exposes how deindustrialisation began decades before climate targets, and why scrapping net zero policies could threaten 950,000+ jobs already supporting British workers. From Port Talbot steel to Scotland's oil industry, the evidence shows the real threat isn't decarbonisation - it's failing to invest in the transition.
