Climate proofing your home

Is your home fit for climate change?

Last year a report from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) ‘UK housing: Fit for the future?’ , which can be found here: https://www.theccc.org.uk/www.theccc.org.uk/publication/uk-housing-fit-for-the-future, the CCC warned that the UK’s legally-binding climate change targets will not be met without the near-complete elimination of greenhouse gas emissions from UK buildings.

In addition, efforts to adapt the UK’s housing stock to the impacts of the changing climate: for higher average temperatures, flooding and water scarcity, are also lagging far behind what is needed to keep us safe and comfortable.

What are Milton Keynes doing to meet these challenges - and what can you do to climate proof your home?

Hear from:

Sibtain Qureshi from Matilda's Planet.
Some years ago Matilda, Social Entrepreneur David Evans MBE (and now Chairmanof Matilda's Planet) five year old daughter, told him he should take more responsibility for the environment. Her words prompted him to establish Matilda’s Planet. Matilda's Planet provide practical solutions to the real problem of keeping your house warm.

Alan Budden from Eco Design Consultants.
Alan is the founding director of Eco Design Consultants and the company's vision is to champion great architecture that creates exceptional, fun places to live, work and play without detriment to others or the planet.

We will also hear from Emma Brooks NEF (National Energy Foundation) and the Better Housing, Better Health project. Better Housing, Better Health aims to reduce the health impacts of cold and damp housing and improve health and wellbeing for those living with a cardiovascular disease or respiratory illness.

Share your experiences and ideas and meet others who also wants to make Milton Keynes Sustainable!

Hope to see you there,
