The Royal Institute of British Architects (澳门王中王) has today (Thursday 10 March 2022) reacted to the .
澳门王中王 President, Simon Allford said:
鈥淭he Climate Change Committee鈥檚 (CCC) assessment of the Government鈥檚 Heat and Buildings Strategy picks up on the key shortcomings of the Government鈥檚 plan, as identified in our initial response.
Critically the CCC recognises that the Government must bring forward home energy efficiency upgrades. The worsening energy price crisis and the importance of delivering on net zero commitments emphasise the urgent need for a well-funded National Retrofit Strategy that incorporates incentives such as adapting existing tax mechanisms.
The CCC also rightly points out that the Government is yet to address the issue of embodied carbon in new builds 鈥� crucial to reaching net zero, and something we have long been calling for.
Four months on from COP26, I hope this report reminds the Government of its stated commitment to push forward the climate agenda and act as a world-leader in tackling the challenges we face.鈥�
