How do energy efficiency and heat policies work together to maximise benefits and minimise costs of BEIS’s objectives, and what is the best way to sequence this work?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
