Public engagement

There needs to be a large-scale campaign to engage with the public about all required changes and the reasoning behind them. The campaign needs to be widely distributed and target all aspects of the population; it needs to start with an upfront ‘education’ piece to help people understand why the changes are required, what net zero means and the impact it will have on people and their properties. The information needs to be distributed as soon as possible, to give people enough time to understand what is going to change and the impact this will have on them.
