This report was produced by Cambridge Econometrics on behalf of Greenpeace UK. It shows how a properly funded, ambitious programme to insulate homes and swap gas boilers for low-carbon heating sources, such as heat pumps, could deliver huge economic and social benefits. It highlights that the greater the government’s investment in decarbonising homes, the greater the return, both in terms of jobs and economic growth.
Properly integrating climate risk into companies’ financial statements and auditor’s reports would help to shift capital away from climate destroying activities. However, most UK companies and their auditors are failing to meaningfully disclose these risks and their financial implications.

For 50 years Greenpeace has been winning monumental victories around the world, and standing with communities affected by environmental damage. Here are some highlights, in pictures.

From 18-26th September, communities across the country will join together for the Great Big Green Week - a national week of events celebrating action on climate change.
English fishermen, together with local fishing businesses, Greenpeace UK, Angling Trust and New Economics Foundation are calling on the UK government to take immediate and urgent action to protect coastal livelihoods and the health of our oceans.
