Zero Carbon Homes for Oxfordshire

We are facing a climate emergency. The government has committed the UK to ‘net zero’ carbon emissions by 2050. In order to make this a reality we need to act now.

Around 25% of our carbon emissions come from housing. To reduce this we need to

· dramatically improve the energy efficiency of our homes

· ensure that all new houses are built to be carbon neutral.

We know this is feasible; what we need is the political will to make it happen. Every new-build home that wastes energy is adding to the problem. For more information see our web page

We call on Oxford City and Oxfordshire District councils to support rapid moves towards zero carbon buildings by setting the highest possible standards for all new developments from 2020 onwards. All new homes should be zero carbon.
