Conclusion
Behaviour change at the scale required for the Seventh Carbon Budget will not occur by default. It depends on policies that tangibly improve everyday life for households and communities. Warmer homes, lower running costs, cleaner air and better local environments are not ancillary benefits of climate action, but essential delivery mechanisms. Where climate policy aligns with health, affordability and quality of place, behaviour change becomes feasible at scale. Without this alignment, the level of behaviour change assumed under the Seventh Carbon Budget will not be delivered. (Conclusion, Paragraph 122)
