The UK’s 29 million homes represent the leakiest housing stock in Europe, and 23% of UK emissions. The UK Committee on Climate Change has estimated that £250 billion needs to be invested in UK home upgrades by 2050, offering a significant investment opportunity.

The Green Finance Institute’s Built Environment Programme is developing and delivering the consumer finance products to decarbonise homes and green the UK’s housing stock. We need a diverse range of financial solutions, accessible to the vast range of homeowners, to make homes more energy-efficient, resilient and adaptable to a changing climate.
