Recommendation 26

Delivery of the Seventh Carbon Budget will depend more than ever on changes in how homes are heated, how people travel, and how energy and goods are used across the economy. We are concerned that, while behaviour change is a central assumption within the Climate Change Committee’s pathway, it is not yet being treated as a core delivery challenge in its own right. Without clear ownership, coordination and delivery planning, there is a risk that the scale of behaviour change assumed under the Seventh Carbon Budget will not be realised in practice.
