Under this Government, greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 25% since 2010, an incredible achievement. However, there is much more we can do to make our housing stock more environmentally friendly.
If we are meet this Government’s new target of reducing emissions to net zero by 2050, we need to improve the energy efficiency of new and existing homes.
I’m very pleased that the Secretary of State recognises the importance of this issue and has outlined new plans to improve energy-efficiency requirements for new homes and work to existing buildings.
