Sustainable livelihood UK and the climate emergency[edit | edit source]

A report commissioned by the 4 Day Week campaign from Platform London, and published in May 2021, found that shifting to a four-day working week without loss of pay could shrink the UK's carbon footprint by 127 million tonnes per year by 2025. This represents a reduction of 21.3%, and is more than the entire carbon footprint of Switzerland.^[1]...Climate change solutions UK
