Resum
[eng] The built environment features prominently in the English strategy to attain net zero, because it is the second highest emitter of carbon after transport. This paper will reviews the English government’s journey on homes’ contribution to achieving net zero, taking The UK Finance Report Net Zero Homes: Time for a Reset (2022) and the Mission Zero Review (2023) observations as a guide. It will conclude that even before the current change of tack, the Government’s proposals were falling short and now the Government has all but given up on serious attempts to address homes’ contribution to net zero. Economic headwinds, but more significantly political opportunism, is creating dangerous messaging and divisions which can only undermine the UK’s net zero strategy at a time when around the globe the effects of climate change are being destructively felt. Net zero by 2050 remains a legal commitment but the strategy to effectively achieve net zero homes is now seriously undermined and likely to be challenged in the courts. This worrying development can only deflect attention away from tackling those constituent elements required to deliver net zero, be that investment, technical innovation, skills development as well as effective legal frameworks, which have drawn serious attention only amongst a select few.
