Today the Government published a new Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan<\/a>\u00a0setting out how the UK will meet its climate targets. The Committee’s response is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Nigel Topping CMG, Chair of the Climate Change Committee, said<\/strong>:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to see the first comprehensive plan from the current Government for achieving the next carbon budgets. We will assess it fully in our annual progress report in June next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere have been some encouraging signs of progress in the delivery indicators in our recent progress report<\/a>. However, a significant increase in roll-out rates is needed in many areas in the next few years. It’s essential that progress against these is monitored with plans adjusted accordingly if things go off track.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur number one recommendation remains to make electricity cheaper. This means taking policy costs off electricity bills. This is vital for ensuring the required scale-up of heat pump installations in the plan and we hope to see this addressed in the upcoming Warm Homes Plan.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
