Towards Net Zero: Accelerating the property sector's transition to net zero carbon
With buildings accounting for around 25% of all UK greenhouse gas emissions, the property sector has a critical role to play in helping the country decarbonise and delivering net zero by 2050. In 2023, we conducted research to identify the main challenges facing the sector in the transition to net zero and to develop a series of policy recommendations to help speed up the decarbonisation of our buildings and create the sustainable communities of the future.
