Climate change consultation closes today

It's your last chance to have your say on how the island plans to deal with climate change.

A public consultation on climate change which sets out the island's vision for 2050, is due to close today.

The Manx government has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in line with the European Union's Paris climate agreement.

The consultation sets out the following vision:

"By 2050 we will have reduced all the greenhouse gas emissions possible, and we will be left with minimal unavoidable emissions (for example from food production). Renewable electricity will power our homes and our transport. We will live in homes that are warm and easy to heat.

"Our communities will be better designed for living and working locally, and for walking, cycling and public transport.

"We will not need to drive as much and the cars that we still drive will be no longer be reliant on fossil fuels.

"Driver-less and or shared vehicles will have become a normal part of life".
