| Summary: | If the UK follows a 'business as usual' path, we will create a future of widening inequality, soaring material demands and runaway fossil fuel consumption. The alternative path, demands changes in consumer behaviour, business models and government policy. It would involve some sacrifices (super-cheap air fares) but also bring many benefits (lower utility bills, cleaner air and safer streets). In 'On the Move ', the SDC maps out this path and we throw down the gauntlet to government with 10 tough targets. This is a full colour report. |
Your comments
 | I thought on the move was excellent - a far cry from a boring annual report... I particularly liked the way it was structured, it's accessible and interesting - and I thought the photographs were great. |
| In order to achieve target 1, ‘Home energy cuts’ it will be necessary to influence the entire building and development industry. Only an independent body, chaired by industry professionals and set up for the specific purpose can succeed. |
| I don’t think it’s entirely deliverable but I like the idea about some sort of panel on sustainable production. But God knows how you are going to do it. Ted Cantle Associate Director, IDeA |
 | Climate change is the most serious and pressing challenge the world has ever faced. It is time to get real – and much more focussed… Now is the time for the ‘Government watchdog’ to show its teeth. The UK has failed to live up to its own rhetoric. |
