Recommendation 13

Delivery of the Seventh Carbon Budget will depend on major cross-sector changes in infrastructure, technology, and behaviour, many of which must be secured well before the 2038–2042 period begins. These changes will not occur automatically in response to ambition alone. Without early clarity on policy instruments, funding mechanisms, delivery governance, infrastructure sequencing and skills capacity, the pathway assumptions will not translate into delivery. (Conclusion, Paragraph 84)
