The study suggests that while reaching net zero emissions presents challenges, the potential gains from living in a low-carbon future include improved health and reduced pollution.
The researchers calculated that changes in the building sector could reduce particle pollution effectively, revealing an estimated £21 billion health benefit by 2050.
With more homes equipped with smart heating controls by 2030, the ability to keep homes warm is expected to improve greatly, fostering a healthier population.
Active travel modes like cycling and e-biking will help offset road transport growth, leading to health benefits from lower air pollution and increased physical activity.
