Chris Packham has reached a settlement with the government over two legal challenges against its decision to remove or delay some environmental policies. The TV presenter took legal action against the previous Conservative government in late 2023, arguing it acted unlawfully by delaying some policies aimed at helping the UK reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Law firm Leigh Day said Packham had reached “a legal settlement” with the new Labour government that said the Tory administration “had acted unlawfully” by axing or watering down climate policies. The government said it had settled both cases as it would reconsider the decisions as it updates its carbon budget delivery plan (CBDP).
