In September 2021, Campbell Tickell ran a webinar exploring what the challenge of Net Zero means for housing organisations and the people who manage them. Lots of great questions were submitted, but we didn’t have time to answer all of them. In this blog, Robert Kingsmill (RK), Partner at RESAM, answers some of them from his viewpoint, while Jon Slade (JS), Director, offers the CT perspective.
To date, more than 300 local councils across the UK have declared a Climate Emergency. A number of them have aligned with the government’s goal to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century. But setting targets is only the start of the journey. If they are serious about it, they now need to take it to the next level and develop action plans to cut carbon emissions in their local area.
