Achievable and Affordable?

The independent Climate Change Committee (CCC) have judged the finally-published UK strategy for reaching net zero by 2050 as being 'achievable and affordable' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/26/uk-net-zero-plan-achievable-and-affordable-say-climate-advisers). The CCC, although noting that the plan is the most comprehensive proposed by a G20 country, did suggest it was very 'market-led'. The strategy is very focused on technology, such as heat pumps and electric cars. In relation to the former replacing gas boilers in UK homes, the plan involves offering £5000 grants to help 90,000 households install heat pumps. This sounds generous but actually 600,000 heat pumps a year will have to be installed by 2030 to make the required reductions in 'greenhouse gas' emissions (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/what-are-heat-pumps-and-why-is-the-uk-government-pushing-them). The CCC also note that the UK strategy hardly mentions farming. The strategy also has nothing to say on meat consumption or on limiting growth in flying. The CCC thinks these omissions makes hitting net zero by 2050, 'more difficult and riskier'. They also feel that more action is clearly needed to protect low income families from the costs of going 'green'. Many households are already struggling.
