The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) have published their latest annual assessment of the Government’s progress in cutting emissions. This assessment looks at progress across all sectors of the economy, including the buildings sector. The report notes the substantial progress that has been made – in large part by the phasing out of coal and the ramping up of renewables – but concludes that urgent action is needed if the UK is to hit its 2030 target of cutting emissions by 68% compared to 1990. This briefing provides a short summary of the CCC report for BPF members.
