Low carbon push would deliver social and economic wins

摘要

David Frise called for adoption of the cross-party parliamentary committee's key proposals including making all new buildings net zero carbon within a decade and widespread adoption of low carbon heating solutions. He also made a direct link between the CCC recommendations and the measures proposed for 'improving the compliance culture" across construction by Dame Judith Hackitt in her post-Grenfell review of building regulations and safety. The CCC said that a 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions should be legislated 'as soon as possible' adding that it could be achieved at the same cost as the measures contained in the Climate Change Act i.e. 1-2% of GDP. However. Energy Secretary Greg Clark has yet to commit the government to adopting the advice despite pledging to 'ensure the UK continues to be a world leader in tackling climate change'.
