Great article. Here’s the 5 key steps identified for effective net zero action:

1. Galvanise people (eg by backing policies like school streets)

2. Focus on fairness

3. Make the policy process relatable

4. Give people the chance to listen to and engage with each other

5. Accept some opposition
