Tony Blair says current net zero push 'doomed to fail'

  • On May 4, 2025, former Prime Minister Tony Blair cautioned that current global net zero strategies focusing on quickly eliminating fossil fuel use are unlikely to succeed.
  • Blair based his call for a reset on rising fossil fuel demand in developing countries, especially China and India, where emissions growth outpaces reductions elsewhere.
  • The report by Blair's think tank highlights challenges including a doubling of airline travel, soaring steel and cement demand, and declining global renewable investment.
  • Blair states voters feel burdened by costly lifestyle sacrifices with minimal impact on emissions, urging focus on carbon capture, AI, nuclear, and new technologies instead.
  • The UK government, supported by Environment Secretary Steve Reed and Ed Miliband, rejects policy resets and stresses ongoing investments in clean energy, carbon capture, and job creation.
