Analysis of the effects of Brexit on the UK’s ability to achieve the climate change acts target 2030

Purpose: This paper evaluates the UK’s departure from the European Union (EU) and how this will influence the emissions output. Methodological approach: Relationships between emissions and empirical generalizations related to the UK’s departure from the EU were detected through an extensive literature review adopting an inductive approach. The delphi methodology was used to collect the opinion of experts via semi structured interviews from where themes were identified with the use of Nvivo. Finally, a triangulation was made by synthesizing the qualitative data with the literature to determine the impacts of the UK’s departure from the EU on emissions. Findings: The work provides evidence that the UK’s decisions to leave the EU will have multiple detrimental long-term consequences to the achievability of the fifth carbon budget. Research limitation: This study considers the opinion of a limited group of experts and consequently, more in depth research is required to better assess the wider range of variables and perspectives affecting the current decision making process and policy related with the UK’s environmental commitments Originality and value: Under the actual eclectic dynamic surrounding the Brexit, a plethora of distorted empirical studies addressing its consequences have emerged. This work provides a comprehensive overview of a largely understudied set of opinions and analysis of possible consequences Brexit poses. This paper opens a debate and invites new perspectives to be included to an increasingly neglected contemporary issue, and contributes as a reference for the future discussion of environmental policy in the UK.

1216-1226Total synthesis of (±)-grimaldone, epigrimaldone and α-cuparenone has been described. A combination of orthoester Claisen rearrangement, an acid catalysed rearrangement of a diazoketone for the generation of bicyclo[4.2.1]nonanedione, a retro-Claisen condensation and an intramolecular diazoketone cyciopropanation reaction have been employed for the construction of three contiguous quaternary atoms present in grimaldone and epigrimaldones. </span
