Climate and ecological strategy

Using the heating at home makes a lot of carbon, which goes towards the carbon emissions in the UK.  

Our climate and ecological emergency strategy is about making homes, schools, and workplaces better at saving energy.  

Heating buildings is one of the biggest ways the UK creates carbon pollution. This plan is about making homes, schools, and workplaces better at saving energy.  

We will do this by:

• fixing up old buildings or making sure new ones are built to use less energy 
• using clean energy like electricity instead of old heating systems that burn fossil fuels 
• building new good quality, affordable homes that use very little energy and are cheaper to run 
• improving older homes in the area so they use energy better and cost less to heat

All of these actions will help with reducing carbon emissions.
