Is the UK’s new £15bn Warm Homes Plan really #sustainable?
Our institute researchers say it's a bold step - but caution without stronger focus on insulation, clearer long term policy, and better support for vulnerable households, it could fall short.

Have you heard the government announcement for new £15billion investment with the #WarmHomesPlan?
As our colleagues at @cast-centre.bsky.social have shared, research shows that many Brits want to make low-carbon choices, but come up against practical barriers – cost being a big one.

Jane Goodall's wisdom rings true: 'What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make'.
Prof Walter Leitner argues that green chemistry can show the way for sustainability.
Slide showing two quotes: Max Planck: "Insight must precede application." Jane Goodall: "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
#SummerShowcase2025: 'If #sustainability is the goal, #greenchemistry will show the way!' Prof Walter Leitner of @maxplanck.de inspires #chemists to use their creativity for better processes & new products.

Dr Stephen Doliente presents his work on rebranding sustainable systems and exploring the material world and green growth.
A slide that describes Stephen's research vision: To provide tools, skills and evidence of net zero industries compatible with the economy, societies and environment, through industrial ecology-inspired chemical and systems engineering.
#SummerShowcase2025: Prof Stephen Doliente focuses on the 'how', providing concrete tools and evidence for #netzero industries through industrial ecology. His work on #criticalminerals recycling and material-energy systems shows that good planning makes the #energy transition achievable.

Dr Sam Hampton presents his research on public and business engagement for climate action
PPT slide showing that behaviour and lifestyle change is widely supported.
#SummerShowcase2025: Dr Sam Hampton (@samhampton.bsky.social) reveals that MORE people care about #climatechange than we think. The key to breaking climate silence? Meeting people where they are, and grassroots communities like NCT, WI & the Green Salon Collective are already leading the way.
