Weekend 2

7th – 9th February

At the second weekend, assembly members heard an introduction to issues around where our energy comes from. They then broke into three groups to hear detailed evidence on specific areas for reducing emissions: how we travel, in the home, what we buy, and land use, food and farming. These relate to how we use energy, land and materials.

For each of the topics, assembly members heard evidence on alternatives for both what the UK could do to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and how it should do it (for example, whose role it is and who should bear any costs).

Read the agenda for each group here:

Group one - how we travel

Group two - in the home

Group three - what we buy, and land use, food and farming
