The Guardian has issued a series of corrections and clarifications for errors that appeared in recent articles. These corrections aim to uphold the newspaper's commitment to accuracy and transparency in journalism.
Corrections to Previous Reports
In an article published on May 20, 2026, regarding the London housing market, it was incorrectly stated that house prices had fallen by 15% in the past year. The correct figure is a decline of 5%. The error has been corrected in the online version.
A piece on May 18 about renewable energy targets misquoted the government's goal for solar power capacity by 2030. The target is 70 gigawatts, not 50 gigawatts as originally reported. The article has been updated accordingly.
Clarifications on Policy Coverage
In a May 22 article on education policy, it was implied that all secondary schools in London would adopt a four-day week by 2027. The policy is currently under consultation and only applies to a pilot program involving 20 schools. The article has been clarified to reflect this.
Additionally, a review of the latest climate change report on May 21 incorrectly attributed a statement to a leading scientist. The scientist did not make the comment; it was from another researcher. The article now includes the correct attribution.
Editorial Note
The Guardian apologizes for these errors and thanks readers for bringing them to our attention. We remain dedicated to providing accurate and reliable news. Readers can submit corrections by emailing corrections@theguardian.com.
