Great conversations at #SanctuarySeneddCymru24 this morning.

#FuelPovertyAwarenessDay
Housing in Wales is responsible for 9% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Solving climate change and fuel poverty together is the answer. The right to adequate housing can help do this.
#BackTheBill#FuelPovertyAwarenessDay
The Back the Bill campaign believe everyone should have the right to a safe, suitable home they can afford. Habitability & Affordability are two key elements. Making housing a right can boost investment in warmer homes through adaptations and new builds.
Public Health Wales estimate poor housing costs the NHS £95 million per year in Wales. While every £1 spent in improving warmth in vulnerable households could generate £4 savings due to reduction in hospital admissions for circulation and lung conditions #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay
On Fuel Poverty Awareness Day, it’s tragic that 45% of households in Wales live in Fuel Poverty and 632 people die each year in Wales due to cold homes.
Today we’ll be tweeting about how the right to adequate housing can address #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay
