The Institution commissioned research into public understanding of the sources of greenhouse gas emissions and attitudes towards Government policy to reduce pollution from road transport.
The poll focused in particular on knowledge about the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars which has been brought forward to 2030 as well as views about electric vehicles.
The Government has adopted a target of net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases in the UK by 2050.
To meet this target, people will have to make changes in their lifestyles, and we wanted to find out how aware the public is about this and their views on the best way to reduce emissions. Transport and housing are some of the main areas where changes will need to be made.
