Buildings must become far more energy efficient to deliver the UK's net zero target, but progress remains frustratingly slow, argues Rob Martin of LGIM Real Assets. The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) recently published its annual review of government's progress towards creating a net zero economy by 2050.
