Beyond the tick-box: meaningful inclusion of racialised communities in UK net zero policy Summary: The report, authored by Zarina Ahmad, Nafhesa Ali, Saima Ansari, Tally Katz-Gerro, Sherilyn MacGregor, and Paul Tobin, warns that UK net zero policy risks deepening social inequalities by excluding or tokenistically including racialised and religious minority communities. Drawing on interviews with Muslims from Global South backgrounds, it highlights how current approaches overlook diverse lived experiences. The authors call for meaningful inclusion—not just to avoid harm but to use the net zero transition to address long-standing inequalities—and offer seven recommendations to help policymakers embed fairness and real engagement in climate strategy.
