Extend scheme for cosy homes, say campaigners
The Climate Coalition has said that all homes in the UK should be made cosy with government help, to help shift the UK towards to a zero carbon economy.
The coalition of 70 green groups say that 10 million heat pumps should also be installed to keep people warm, reduce bills, improve health and create jobs.
The government's Green Homes scheme currently offers grants up to £5,000 to help households with insulation. However, that scheme ends in March and is vastly over-subscribed, so the coalition wants it extended through to 2030.
The Climate Coalition's demands come as Prime Minister Boris Johnson prepares his own 10-point plan for zero emissions, due for publication soon. However, climate groups fear that his strategy has been captured by industry lobbyists prioritising profits and jobs over emissions reductions.
