The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) was established by the Climate Change Act 2008, as the independent statutory body that provides expert advice to the Government and the Devolved Administrations on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This includes advice on the level of each carbon budget, the respective contributions that different sectors could make and the extent to which carbon budgets could be met through the use of flexibilities. The target year for the UK\u2019s upcoming Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) falls within the UK\u2019s fifth carbon budget period (2028-32). We will be bringing forward a UK NDC well ahead of COP26, which will be built on the foundations of the well-established UK analysis and policy development that informed the setting of the fifth carbon budget. The CCC published its advice to Government on the level of the fifth carbon budget in November 2015 and the budget was set in June 2016, in line with the requirements of the Climate Change Act.<\/p>"}

In June 2019, the UK government set a legally binding target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions from across the UK economy by 2050. We are the first major economy in the world to legislate for a net zero target, which will end the UK\u2019s contribution to climate change. 2020 will be a vital Year of Climate Action across the UK, and we will be setting out ambitious plans in the run-up to COP26 to deliver on our world-leading net zero ambition.<\/p>
Following our departure from the EU, the UK will be bringing forward its own, increased NDC well ahead of COP26. The UK NDC will be built on the foundations of well-established UK analysis and policy development for domestic climate change mitigation, used to set the UK\u2019s fifth carbon budget (2028-32) and described in the Clean Growth Strategy. In its Net Zero advice, the Committee on Climate Change was clear that the Clean Growth Strategy continues to offer the right framework for the ambitious action needed to deliver net zero.<\/p>"}

We are consulting on bringing forward the end of the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles; including hybrids under this definition for the first time, to 2035, or earlier if feasible. We will be engaging with stakeholders, including those in the energy sector, to understand what support will be required to enable this transition, and minimise the impact on businesses, workers and consumers across the UK, building on the significant demand and supply side measures in place.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our analysis suggests limited additional impact on electricity generation capacity up to 2030. The electricity market is already set up to promote investment in generation capacity to meet demand; for example, the Contracts for Difference scheme facilitates significant investment in low-carbon generation. This complements numerous measures to ensure a smarter, more flexible energy system, increasing the efficiency of the electricity system to prepare for electric vehicles. Ofgem, the independent energy regulator, is developing its next set of energy network price controls to incentivise network companies to be ready for the future needs of the energy system, including the required capacity required to support EVs.<\/p>
<\/p>
\u2018Smart\u2019 charging of electric vehicles (at off-peak times) can reduce demand from Electric Vehicle charging at peak times. Government has taken powers in the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act to mandate that all charge points sold or installed in the UK must be smart enabled and has recently consulted on secondary regulations. Government has also invested £30 million to support vehicle-to-grid technology, where the storage capability of electric vehicle batteries provides electricity back to the grid.<\/p>"}

The Department has published consumer guidance for householders who suspect they have received faulty cavity wall insulation. This is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cavity-wall-insulation-cwi-consumer-guide-to-issues-arising-from-installations.<\/p>
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme requires a 25-year guarantee to be provided to householders for all cavity wall insulation. The guarantee provides instructions if there are problems related to the insulation product or its installation.<\/p>
Where cavity wall insulation is installed under ECO, the installation must also be compliant with the most recent provisions of the Publicly Available Specification (PAS); this sets out the specifications for the installation of energy efficiency measures in existing dwellings, including cavity wall insulation. The standard sets out requirements which aim to ensure that the installation is suitable for the property and installed to high standards.<\/p>
<\/p>
TrustMark is delivering the new Government endorsed quality framework for energy efficiency measures which was launched in October 2018. The framework ensures an improved and comprehensive consumer protection process, including guarantees and a redress scheme.<\/p>
From 1 January 2019 all relevant measures (including cavity wall insulation) installed under the ECO scheme must be delivered by a Trustmark approved installer and compliant with the Trustmark framework requirements.<\/p>"}
