UK launches ‘foresight’ project on achieving net zero

Project to examine trend data on behaviours that drive energy demand and emissions

A new “foresight project” launched by UK government scientists will look at how different social and behavioural changes could affect the nation’s path towards net zero.

Foresight projects give evidence to policymakers to help them create policies that are more resilient to the future, with previous ones tackling issues such as ageing, graduate mobility and lifelong learning.
