On May 19, it was Earth Overshoot Day in the UK; in this blog @GreenAllianceUK discuss the UK's overconsumption problem and why a resource reduction target is urgently required.

Q2. How can we ensure better access for vulnerable groups?
We need to better understand the needs of different groups, how they engage with the energy sector including barriers to access. Placing people not metrics first is key. @carolyn_snell @GreenAllianceUK #fairtransition – at London, England
