In order to achieve the 1.5-degree target set by the Paris Agreement, massive cuts in carbon emissions are needed. For the EU, this requires a reduction of household carbon footprints from 2015 of almost 70% by 2030 and over 90% by 2050. Too often, climate policies are not placed within a broader social context and policy makers neglect to see that welfare policies are vital to climate mitigation.
