Behaviour change, public engagement and Net Zero, a report for the Committee on Climate Change

Abstract

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) appointed Dr. Richard Carmichael from Imperial College London to help understand the potential for people to make choices that can contribute to reducing emissions, and what this means for policy. This independently published report sets out a range of policy interventions that could encourage changes across surface transport, aviation, heating and diet change. It helped to inform the Committee’s report on Net Zero – The UK’s contribution to stopping global warming, published in May 2019. The independent report does not reflect the view of the Committee, and we do not agree with all of the recommendations.
