Britons will have to fly less, eat less meat and use public transport more often to hit Net Zero goals, the Government's main climate-change advisers have insisted.
The stipulations outlined to MPs today directly contradict promises by Sir Keir Starmer earlier this month that reducing greenhouse gas emissions would not involve people in Britain having to change their lifestyles.
New targets mean the UK's emissions should be cut to 81 per cent of 1990 levels by 2035.
New targets mean the UK's emissions should be cut to 81 per cent of 1990 levels by 2035.
Speaking at the Cop29 summit in Azerbaijan a fortnight ago, the Prime Minister said he would not be 'telling people how to live their lives' by reducing air travel or changing their diets.
But today leading members of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) spelled out that hitting the target would involve widespread 'behaviour change'.
Asked at the Commons environmental audit committee 'to what extent will individual behavioural change be needed', James Richardson, director of analysis at the CCC, said: 'In terms of the analysis we've done, about 10 per cent of emissions reduction to 2035 comes from what we would think of as behaviour change. That's predominantly around diets, flying and modal shifting [to] public transport.'

NO matter how much the West deindustrializes and primitizes, China will just fill in the gap.

I hate to say it, but this bean eating guy contributes to greenhouse gas more than any automobile.
