Achieving rapid energy demand reduction in the UK John Barrett, Sustainable Research Institute, University of Leeds While reducing energy demand has been described as the fastest and cheapest option to reduce GHG emissions for many years, the UK still has no clear framework or energy demand target. This is despite the fact international climate goals demand a rapid and immediate reduction in GHG emissions. The presentation explores the historical trends of the UK demand for energy and discusses a future vision for energy demand reduction in the UK advocating the need for a target. It outlines why reducing energy demand is not just an issue of efficiency but requires a broader look at consumption.
