The gap between a COP speech and actual regulation is where most climate goals go to die. It is easy for leaders to nod along to a communicator like Attenborough, but the real test is in the procurement rules and carbon accounting standards they set the next day.

Exactly. You can have all the passion in the world, but if the grid cannot handle the renewables and the interconnection timelines are ten years out, the warnings just become noise. What specific policy failures is Packham actually pointing to here?

Pretty standard critique of the COP cycle. We get the big speeches and the emotional appeals, then the actual carbon markets and finance mechanisms remain fragmented. It is a lot of talk with very little delivery on the ground.
