Which? response to Climate Change Committee's Seventh Carbon Budget

Sue Davies, Which? Head of Consumer Rights and Food Policy, said:

"We know lots of people want to reduce their impact on the environment but our research shows that they are held back by high costs, complex choices and uncertainty, especially when it comes to important changes such as buying a heat pump, switching to an electric car, or choosing a more sustainable diet.

"To make the transition to net zero work for the majority, people need to know the changes they make will lead to cheaper energy and fuel, warmer homes, better journeys and healthier meals. The government and businesses can do this by making green choices more affordable overall and by providing the right information and incentives, so that people have the confidence to switch.”
