Climate Change Committee chief executive Chris Stark criticised politicians for rolling back on their net zero commitments in recent months.

The move to net zero will not require a "huge shift" in everyday lives, with people still able to fly off on holiday, a top climate adviser has said after admitting he and his colleagues may have pushed too hard for a radical transformation.

Asked how he thought people’s lives would be changed by the move to net zero, he said: “I think I’m as guilty as anyone in the green space, of often presenting the move to net zero as radical, or a major shift or transformative stuff.“Of course if you work in the energy sector, it is those things, but if you’re a person going about your day-to-day life in Britain right now, I don’t think your day-to-day life will be that different in 2050 when we hit net zero.

He said he was not dismissing the need for change, but suggested the idea of a big shift had been pushed too hard, when it was just going to play out in a “much more normal way”.He added the UK had led so much of the early part of the transition, that “it seems weird that we want to step off now” but acknowledged the next period would be “tricky” because money was tight.
