The public will not have to change their lives “radically” for the UK to meet its near-term emissions reduction targets, MPs have been told.

The Government’s climate goals include a 68% reduction by 2030 and an 81% reduction by 2035 on 1990 levels, which are both in line with advice from its independent advisers on the Climate Change Committee (CCC).
