Conclusion
70. The sixth annual SDiG report
reveals, behind the figures, very poor progress in tackling carbon
emissions from the majority of departments. The Government response
has announced many promising reforms; that there was a Government
response to the SDC for the first time was itself a big step in
the right direction. What is crucial now is that departments make
good on this promise by adding detail to these plans and accelerating
progress in tackling carbon emissions and increasing on-site and
district renewables. In particular, rapid progress needs to be
made on reducing demand for electricity, and increasing on-site
and district generation of electricity from low and no-carbon
sources.
