New report from Climate Change Committee calls for "a new mechanism...to incentivise and drive whole-life carbon savings for new buildings" & "policies to support a substantial increase in the use of wood in construction". See theccc.org.uk/publication/bi… for full details & summary thread below.

The overwhelming majority - 75% in the UK - believe the government should be responsible for ensuring that businesses produce repairable and recyclable products. Green Alliance CIEMAP data:

Not only do our two CIEMAP reports demonstrate that #resourceefficiency is a major new tool for #climate policy, but measures offering the biggest carbon savings, and over which the Gov has most control, are most popular with the public. bit.ly/2DOPsjw

In a country as politically split as the UK, climate action on #netzero is a unifier: the prime minister, the contenders to be her successor, opposition parties and the UK’s devolved nations all agree that we must end our contribution to climate change.
