The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has published a report which examines how carbon emissions are distributed across households in Great Britain and the implications for energy and climate change policy. This project uses advanced modelling techniques to look at: the distribution of carbon emissions, from energy consumed in the home and through personal travel by car, public transport and aviation, across households in Great Britain; the impact of existing Government energy and climate policies on consumer energy bills and household emissions in England; and the potential for an alternative approach to reducing emissions in the domestic sector through a wide-scale retrofit of the housing stock.
