Delighted that the #RouteToZero Action Plan was moved at today’s @BhamCityCouncil Full Council meeting. It outlines 7 priorities for becoming carbon neutral by 2030 - new build housing, housing retrofit, transport, electric vehicle charging, waste, energy and environment. (1/11)

NEW BUILD HOUSING: Buildings are the biggest emitters of carbon emissions in Birmingham. Raising standards of all new homes in the city will be an important part of achieving net zero carbon. We will deliver 7,000 environmentally-sustainable social homes by 2031. (2/11)

RETROFIT HOUSING: Refurbishing existing housing with energy efficient solutions will be a significant undertaking. We continue to lobby government for funding and will prioritise thermal efficiency, with the aim of all housing achieving an EPC rating of ‘C’ at a minimum. (3/11)

TRANSPORT: Transport is the second largest emitter of carbon emissions in our city. We will continue to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions by delivering more infrastructure for active travel and investing in sustainable transport. (4/11)

This will all be delivered through the draft Birmingham Transport Plan: https://t.co/K9CFRW3TXu<https://t.co/TPgVooU3v2> (5/11)
