Ministers Suggest People To Fly Less

As part of its goals to combat climate change, the government has been accused of failing to lower demand for flying and meat consumption. Ministers have also failed to demonstrate how to meet their goal of reducing demand for vehicle travel, according to the Climate Change Committee advisory body. It cautions that the prime minister's "techno-centric" approach to reducing emissions is certain to fail.

The government's overarching Net Zero climate plans, revealed last week, demonstrated how, by 2050, almost every sector of the economy should have virtually eliminated global-warming carbon emissions. According to the report, the committee does warn, though, that the Treasury still lacks plans to reduce emissions. More measures are also needed to reduce emissions from land use and agriculture.
