But why should we care when we're only in our second month of 2025? 🚨

2030 is a critical milestone for several important reasons:

🔹 The government’s original target to achieve EPC B for Non-Domestic private rented properties.
🔹 The goal to reduce emissions by 68% under the Paris Agreement.

But let’s be honest – there have been some slippages in progress. We’ve seen delays around:
❌ The ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars
❌ The ban on fossil fuel boilers for new homes
❌ Uncertainty over phase 2 of Non-Domestic MEES

When MEES first came into force in 2018, it took around two years for the market to properly respond. So, if the government does finally move forward with phase 2 of MEES, we’re likely to face a significant delay in market action.

This is worrying, especially considering the current skills shortage in the UK construction industry. There’s little incentive for the next generation to enter the property and construction sector when the industry is not being encouraged to act swiftly.

Time is running out. The need for urgent action, strong policy and industry-wide collaboration is greater than ever if we are to meet our 2030 targets.

What do you think – can we still hit the 2030 targets, or is it too little too late? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
