Policy Connect
Policy Connect publishes its Sustainability Manifesto for the General Election 2017. Produced by the organisation's Sustainability Team, and comprising the expertise of five different independent groups, our groups consist of cross-party parliamentarians and cross-sectoral industry experts.
Based on our work, these should be the green priorities for the new Government:
-
Embed sustainability across industry - The new Government should promote the circular economy in an Industrial Strategy, and commit to providing stimulus for remanufacturing and greater resource efficiency, which will create jobs and reduce waste
-
Reduce carbon emissions - The new Government should meet the UK's climate change commitments and contribute toward mitigating climate change by reducing UK carbon emissions.
-
Makes homes warm and energy efficient - The new Government should improve energy efficient in the home with greater insulation standards, which will reduce energy bills, improve health and reduce carbon emissions
- Modernise the gas grid - The new Government should investigate ways to modernise the natural gas grid, and the potential to use new low carbon gases
