UK REMAINS AHEAD IN ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS

摘要

New global, research from RICS reveals the UK is in the top three countries in the world in working towards zero carbon emissions in the built environment; however, there are still a number of areas to be improved on. The RICS GlobalZero Carbon Capacity Index (or ZC2 Index) has for the past three years assessed 34 individual countries on a number of different factors, looking at how they are progressing towards a zero carbon built environment. Due to its carbon reduction policies, the UK ranked third in the index, just behind Norway and Brazil. Norway was top for the third year running, while Brazil moved up six places due to low energy use and high contribution of renewable energy.
