Climate lockdowns!? New International Energy Agency’s ‘Net-Zero’ report urges ‘behavioral changes’ to fight climate: ‘A shift away from private car use…. upper speed limits’ & thermostat controls; limits on hot water & more!
Are you willing to comply to save the planet!? IEA report page 174: "The Covid‐19 pandemic has increased general awareness of the potential effectiveness of behavioral changes, such as mask‐wearing, and working and schooling at home. The crisis demonstrated that people can make behavioural changes at significant speed and scale if they understand the changes to be justified, and that it is necessary for governments to explain convincingly and to provide clear guidance about what changes are needed and why they are needed." ...
"Urban design can reduce the average city dweller’s carbon footprint by up to 60% by shaping lifestyle choices and influencing day‐to‐day behavior."

Full IEA INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY Net Zero by 2050 A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector:
Regulations and mandates could enable roughly 70% of the emissions saved by behavioral
changes in the NZE. Examples include:
Upper speed limits, which are reduced over time in the NZE from their current levels to 100 km/h, cutting emissions from road vehicles by 3% in 2050.
Appliance standards, which maximise energy efficiency in the buildings sector.
Regulations covering heating temperatures in offices and default cooling temperatures for air conditioning units
