Chaired by Gummer, the CCC have just submitted a report to UK Government calling for "urgent action" to make UK Carbon Zero by 2050.
They recommend:
- planting over 3 billion trees between now & 2030
- reducing the consumption of beef, lamb & dairy products by one fifth
- No sale of new petrol & diesel cars by 2035
- 6000 more off shore wind turbines
- suggest that flying "may become a little more expensive"
Note that Scotland are tasked with being carbon zero by 2045 as they have more opportunities to do so & Wales "only" have to reduce emissions by 95% due to the difficulty in making significant reductions from sheep
