Channel 4 presenter Kevin McCloud joined MPs and industry leaders to call on the next government to commit to critical climate policies during its first 100 days in office.
McCloud urged legislators at a parliamentary event to support early adoption policies to address the climate emergency, including:
- Aligning with industry-backed Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard reporting processes and metrics;
- Legislating embodied carbon;
- Providing financial incentives that prioritise retrofit and reuse;
- Establishing the infrastructure to allow the reuse of construction materials at scale;
- Creating a nationwide green jobs strategy.
“Who wouldn’t want to make it happen and take the skills and materials we have to build a zero carbon future?” said McCloud. “If you want to build the future, build it. Build places that will last and that our children and grandchildren will thank us for.”
