Government has vowed to publish its roadmap for making the education estate net-zero, after admitting its school rebuilding programme alone won’t be enough to hit targets.
Academies minister Baroness Barran made the commitment today in the wake of concerns raised by MPs over the progress the Department for Education has made on decarbonisation.
The environmental audit committee warned in November that the DfE is not moving quickly enough to deliver its goals of slashing emissions by three-quarters by 2037, before becoming net zero in 2050.
Writing in response, Barran said MPs were “right to acknowledge the scale of the challenge”.
