1 October 2007: Public Finds Much To Support In Conservative's New Green Agenda

New research by Ipsos MORI reveals a great deal of public support for the policy recommendations put forward by the Quality of Life Policy Group.

Across five of the key proposals tested there is significant support for three: a large majority backs higher taxes for fuel inefficient vehicles (64%) and incentives for low carbon homes (62%), while supporters of a freeze on airport expansion outnumber opponents by more than two to one (49% vs 20%).

Furthermore, the central theme of eco-taxation and "Polluter Pays" finds majority support in principle.

Our Ambition

We have looked at every aspect of the Quality of Life agenda. For the first time these areas have been considered together, as the world faces up to climate change.

The Chairmen

David Cameron invited two of the UK's leading environmentalists, John Gummer and Zac Goldsmith, to lead the Quality of Life Policy Group.

Policy Areas

We had eight working groups looking in depth at specific subjects. Each group has their own section detailing their terms of reference.

Each chapter of the report can be downloaded separately within the relevant policy area. An abridged version of the Climate Change chapter is published in the report. You can download the full version here.
