Aiming for net zero represents an increase in the level of ambition from Government’s previous emissions reduction targets and achieving it is a colossal challenge, but bold steps have already been taken including bringing forward the end of sales of new petrol and diesel cars to 2030. |
Public sector buildings account for 9% of all buildings emissions in the UK, and while the government launched the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme in September 2020 with a plan to halve public sector emissions by 2032, the updated plan, as set out in the Heat and Buildings Strategy and the newly published Net Zero Strategy, is to build on this ambition and cut emissions by 75% before 2037. This means taking 11 years to halve emissions from their current level and then a further five years to halve them again. |

To help environmental & facilities managers navigate their way through the strategy, the latest Net Zero Government webinar focusses on Buildings & Energy and will take place live online on 21st July. Experts will look at Solar & Renewable Energy in Buildings and presentations will include case studies from diverse public sector organisations. |
