The UK’s Climate Change Committee has set ambitious targets to achieve “net zero” emissions by 2050. To reach this goal, they recommend that 80% of new cars be electric, and half of all homes be equipped with heat pumps, by 2035. This will require a significant shift in how people live, including how they travel, what they eat, and how they heat their homes. To aid in this transition, the government has promised significant support for individuals and businesses. In a recent episode of Sky News Daily, science and technology editor Tom Clarke spoke with Niall Paterson about the practical steps people can take to make a difference. The episode provides insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to a low-carbon future and the role individuals can play in achieving the government’s net zero target.
Boosting heat pumps and reducing kebabs – a potential recipe for success in the fight against climate change.
