I-UKGBC iphendula Isabelomali Sikahulumeni Nokubukezwa Kwezindleko
Julie I-Hirigoyen, Isikhulu Esiphezulu e-UKGBC:
“With the COP 26 conference just days away, the Chancellor’s announcements felt like they were from a different planet and a different time. Whilst we welcome changes to business rates to incentivize investment in renewable technologies, new research and development funding, and grants for local authorities, there were no big announcements to fill the clear gap that has emerged around decarbonising existing buildings.
Ngokuhlangana kweSabelomali kanye nokuBuyekezwa Kwezindleko, lokhu kube yithuba elikhulu leShansela lokuvala izikhala ezinkulu ku Inethiwekhi Kahulumeni Zero and Heat and Buildings Strategies, and put the UK on a firm path to net zero over the next few years. By supporting the industry’s plan for a national programme to retrofit our amakhaya, uHulumeni ubengaletha inqubekelaphambili enkulu efinyelela ku-zero futhi avule igagasi elisha green imisebenzi ukusiza ukukhuphula izwe. Kunalokho, ukunaka net zero bekuwuphawu, kuphinda izimemezelo ezindala eceleni kwezihloko zezindaba ezingahlangani mayelana nokutshalwa kwe-carbon eningi emigwaqeni, ukunciphisa umsebenzi wabagibeli basemoyeni kanye nokumiswa kwe-fuel-duty.
If the Chancellor is serious about building a strong, resilient economy, then turbocharging the green economy should be at the centre of all investment plans and skills initiatives, not merely be an afterthought. Every year that we fail to invest in tackling climate change increases the financial burden on future generations and Governments. With the UK’s green credentials in the spotlight next week, and public concern about climate change at an all-time high, these announcements could not be more disappointing.”
