Challenges of hitting net zero emissions are often discussed, but little focus is given to the gains of living in a low-carbon world

The challenges of reaching net zero emissions are often discussed, but little attention is given to the gains from living in a low-carbon future. Less fossil-fuel combustion means less air pollution, and if the changes are done correctly, net zero could result in homes that are easier to keep warm and a healthier population from walking and cycling every day.

A study has looked at air pollution and the health benefits from net zero changes to our homes, our vehicles and the ways we travel.
