First, decarbonization needs a solid legal basis to give it credibility and overcome time inconsistency problems. Second, putting a price on carbon is essential, but low-carbon policies also have to address wider market, investment, and behavioural failures. This in turn raises issues of policy complexity and coordination. Third, the low-carbon economy is likely to be highly electrified. Clean electricity could be a cost-effective way of decarbonizing many parts of the economy, including transport, heating, and parts of industry. Decarbonization therefore starts in the power sector. Fourth, the low-carbon transition is primarily a revolution of production and not consumption. Both supply-side innovation and demand-side adjustments in lifestyle and behaviour are needed, though the former should dominate. Fifth, the transition to a low-carbon economy is economically and technologically feasible. Achieving it is a question of policy competence and having the political will to drive economic and social change. Keywords: climate change policy; decarbonization; green growth; low-carbon transition; mitigation; UK 1. Introduction More and more countries are taking action against climate change. Nearly all major GHG emitters, including many emerging markets, now have climate change legislation on their statute books (Town- shend et ak, 2011). It is debatable whether these efforts - and any international agreement that might reinforce them - will be sufficient to limit climate change to an acceptable level. Howeve
