British transformation towards a low-carbon economy in the light of intergovernmental relations reform.

Implementation of the UK’s ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets is entering a new phase. The focus is shifting from the energy sector towards areas where devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have many more competences gained through devolution reform. The aim of this article is to present the perspectives of British decarbonization in the context of the evolution of the model of intergovernmental relations. This article seeks to assess the extent to which the achievement of the decarbonization goals will depend on devolved administrations and determine whether the IGR reform carried out in January 2022 strengthens the foundations of the British transformation towards a low-carbon economy.
