Status: Closed
Opened: 15 Nov 2021

1 report
Inquiry scope
The Environment and Climate Change Committee is exploring behaviour change in the context of climate change (mitigation and adaptation) and the environment (e.g. biodiversity, water, waste & the circular economy and air pollution). The main focus of the inquiry is on behaviour change, though not in isolation, as the Committee is also interested in the wider conditions needed for people to make changes and the sequencing of related policy measures. The Committee has issued a call for evidence with a deadline of Monday 13 December 2021, and will also be gathering oral evidence. This inquiry is now closed.Reports
