The Green Party has called for mandatory solar PV panels to be fitted on all appropriate new buildings and for all new homes to be built to Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standards.
The call comes in the wake of new analysis showing the world's oceans have broken temperature records every single day over the past year while April was the hottest month on record globally.
Co leader Carla Denyer said: "We can offer two simple, sensible and practical measures - just as starters. Fitting solar panels to all appropriate new buildings should be mandatory and building regulations should be changed so that every new home is built to Net Zero standards. These two measures are examples of how tackling our greenhouse gas emissions can also bring down fuel bills.
