As part of our Build Net Zero Now campaign Finance working group we have launched a new ‘manifesto’, setting out the key steps we believe are required to accelerate the delivery of net zero homes.
The manifesto is aimed at government departments, financial institutions and policy makers, and calls for more incentives from financiers for developers to build to higher standards, wider availability of green mortgages, increased government funding of community led housing schemes, stamp duty land tax reform, and a major update to EPCs to focus on in-use performance.
As part of phase 3 of our BNZN campaign, we will be engaging with policy makers and financiers to advance the manifesto asks. Please contact us if you are interested in getting involved.

About the Build Net Zero Now campaign
The Good Homes Alliance Build Net Zero Now campaign aims to empower progressive Local Authorities, Housing Associations and housebuilders, and their supply chains, by providing them with the knowledge and tools to deliver net zero housing.
Following a year-long series of topical events and targeted outputs, including new and freely available net zero case studies and design briefs, phase one of the campaign concluded at the GHA Build Net Zero Now Conference in October 2021.
A series of working groups and targeted outputs concludes phase two of the campaign in Autumn 2023, with phase three of the campaign continuing into 2024.
The campaign outputs have proved vital for the 30+ members of our fast-growing LA Vanguard and HA Pathfindernetworks from across the UK, who collectively represent 350,000 existing homes and 120,000 new build homes to be developed in the next 10 years.
