target: On Tuesday, delegates will be asked to vote on the party's target to cut the UK's carbon emissions to net zero, according to The Guardian. Two motions are to be put to members, one with a target of net zero carbon emissions by 2030 which would be much more stringent than the government's current target of net zero by 2050 and one backed by the GMB union, which does not set a date. The plan comes as members prepare to debate the climate emergency at their party conference in what could be a fierce contest between heavyweight unions and grassroots campaigners. The motions emerged from the compositing process after 128 constituency parties sent climate-related motions to the conference. Both motions could pass. The 2030 motion came from the pressure group Labour for a Green New Deal and has the support of several smaller unions.
