Heat decarbonisation is a complex problem that needs to be a top government priority. The prize is significant – eliminating nearly a fifth of UK emissions and ending fuel poverty.

Homes are directly responsible for creating around 70 million tonnes of CO2 annually. Changing the way we heat our homes is one of the most impactful things we can do as a country to cut pollution.

Nesta has produced a comprehensive policy plan to decarbonise home heating for a new government to use from day one. Applying the latest research and evidence from Nesta and beyond, the plan provides a clear direction for the next UK Government to focus on replacing boilers with heat pumps and other low-carbon heating systems.

At this event we discussed the actions our new government should take to rapidly speed up home decarbonisation and the choices they'll need to make over the course of the next parliament.
