Green skills gap could derail net-zero , major UK construction firms tell Government
Representatives from more than a dozen major construction organisations have urged the Government to do more to close the existing green skills gap and to improve the skills pipeline, lest it risk missing its 2050 net-zero target.
The paper warns that the existing skills gap for the sector could widen rather than close in the near-term future, without targeted policy action
The joint call to action has been made by the likes of Morgan Sindall, Mace Group and Tideway, through a new paper published by think-tank the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).

Affordable Housing Commission I am delighted to welcome this very significant contribution to the debate: brilliant to see the Church of England leadership engaging with one of the biggest challenges facing our society – one that is at the heart of the inequalities, poverty and hardship facing so many of our fellow citizens – with clear proposals for the Church, as well as the usual suspects, to achieve the affordable homes this country so desperately needs.
Lord Richard Best, Chair
Andrew Selous MP I very strongly support the recommendations that the Church Commissioners should enable more affordable, sustainable and beautiful homes to be built on their land. The unaffordability of housing is one of the main causes of poverty and I believe the Church Commissioners could help the current housing crisis while, potentially, increasing the long-term value of their holdings for future generations, as the Duchy of Cornwall have managed to do.

The owners of the Golders Green Hippodrome are seeking planning approval to change its use from a church to a place of worship .
The Markaz El Tathgheef Es Eslami (MTE) has been operating at the Hippodrome since taking over the venue in 2017.
The Arabic term Markaz translates as community centre .
MTE believes using the venue as an Islamic community centre should fall within the existing planning permission, given in 2007: To use building as a church to enrich community with schemes for children, unemployed, elderly etc. To hold concerts, conferences, drama and dance festivals.
