RICS has recently produced a report on decarbonising UK real estate (“the Report”), which can be found here. With buildings currently producing around 25% of all UK emissions, the Report concludes that the government’s existing policy around decarbonising real estate is insufficient. The Report recommends urgent actions for the government to take so that the UK can reduce the carbon emissions from buildings and meet its climate targets (a 78% reduction of emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050).
