Over the next 30 years, many countries are promising to move to net-zero carbon, implying that household emissions will have to be cut to close to nothing. A leading climate scientist reckons that, at best, half the reduction might be achieved through demand-side measures, such as behavioural changes by individuals and households. And even that would require companies and governments to provide more incentives to change through supply-side investments to make low-carbon options cheaper and more widely available.
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :
1. Supply-side investments in companies can result in low-carbon behaviour in people.
2. People are not capable of adapting low-carbon behaviour without the involvement of Government and Companies.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid ?
