"Lord Stern, the economist, said the new target should be a cut of at least 78% in carbon emissions, compared with 1990 levels, by 2035."
"A strong transition [to a low-carbon economy] and the investment and innovation which drives it is crucial to our own growth. If we commit and deliver... we will establish a much more attractive growth story than the dirty destructive models of the past."
"Mike Hemsley, the deputy director of the Energy Transitions Commission thinktank, agreed that 78% should be the key figure. This is a reasonable number."
"Mike Childs, head of policy at Friends of the Earth, said: We'd argue that the urgent need to prevent climate breakdown spiralling out of control requires the deepest cuts possible."
