COP26 is less than ONE WEEK away! After the announcements last week, it is clear that businesses will have to lead the way out of the climate crisis so sign up to #racetozero today and join the largest net zero coalition #cop26builtenvironmentembassadors
Carbon emissions from buildings in the UK have not fallen fast enough especially in recent years. The Net Zero Strategy shows that they need to drop by a whopping 47-62% by 2035.

All in the #BuiltEnvironment need to address the 38% of global emissions our sector is
Based on UK Gov's latest carbon price assumptions (which, while much higher than before, could have been much higher still), the back of my envelope suggests that the current new build housing supply policy is costing the planet around Β£12Bn a year. https://t.co/0rdaA8BJKN

Well said. The UK Built Environment is responsible for nearly 40% of UK greenhouse gases. We can fix this. We know how. But do our sector leaders have the will? Judging by the numbers signing up now to #RacetoZero I think they do. Join them! #COP26BuiltEnvironmentAmbassadors

Net zero must deliver a people's dividend
Action must be rooted in fairness, be shaped by public consultation and help tackle inequality
