Local and regional government

Local and regional government can make a large contribution to reducing the effects of climate change through the exercise of planning and regulatory functions.

Every year local authorities have to report to Government on the progress of the Home Energy Conservation Act 1996. Local Authorities also have a target to reduce energy consumption within the residential sector of at least 30%
