Recommendation
The Government should place delivery of co-benefits at the centre of its approach to the Seventh Carbon Budget. Policies intended to drive behaviour change should be designed from the outset to improve 63 affordability, health outcomes, air quality and local environments. Departments responsible for housing, transport, energy, planning and public health should be required to set out, within their contribution to the Seventh Carbon Budget Delivery Plan and Impact Assessment, how their policies deliver these co-benefits and enable the level of behaviour change assumed under the budget. (Recommendation, Paragraph 123)
