The biggest net-zero challenge of the next decade is electrification: switching our heating and transport over to running on green electricity. Between them, electricity, heat and transport make up more than half of the UK’s carbon emissions and reducing these will be crucial to tackling climate change.

To do this, we’ll need to make changes to our everyday lives: how we heat our homes, how we use and conserve energy and how we travel to and from where we live. The UK is currently falling badly behind on these changes compared to the US and Europe: how do we speed up the shift? 

We gathered experts from policy, government and industry to explore how a Labour government could accelerate the transition to using green electricity in our homes.
