IT professionals doubt that the UK has the data and digital skills necessary to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, a survey by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT has revealed. The survey reflects concerns by the UK’s professional body for the IT industry about the government not having access to “better, richer” emissions data to monitor emerging environmental hotspots in real time.

Out of the 1124 respondents surveyed, only 12% are confident policymakers have the data required to understand and achieve net zero. And just 16% believe that the private sector is using IT and digital technology effectively to mitigate the effects of climate change.
