This report stresses that “ from residential to commercial buildings, the UK’s built environment is responsible for 25% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions.

With climate deadlines looming, urgent action is needed.”
Our members contributed significantly to this report, as did other organisations allied in this movement.
