Talking Net Zero And Section 106 With Sian Griffiths

What do you see as the biggest
challenges arising from Net Zero?

"Net Zero is an incredibly complicated way of dealing with energy efficiency and its wider environmental and societal impacts. I'm not entirely sure it's the right way to do things. What concerns me is how we are off-siting and othering our carbon capture. There are also multiple ways to assess Net Zero in housing which can be confusing.

"As a nation, we tend to claim that our carbon footprint is small compared to countries such as India and China – but guess where the vast majority of our consumer products are produced? As a developed nation, we have to hold up our hand to the fact that we have the greatest impact on the environment. In developing nations, a lot of life revolves around recycling, reusing and repairing. We don't do any of that; we are a throwaway society.
