Third of emissions cuts must come from behaviour changes, say Lords

Committee report says government approach on guiding people in tackling climate crisis is muddled and inadequate

A third of the UK's emissions reductions must come from people's behaviour changing, a House of Lords committee has said.

A report published on Wednesday by the upper house's environment and climate change committee urged ministers to lead a public campaign and use regulations and taxation to guide public behaviour change in order to stop the decline of nature and reach legally binding net zero targets.
