The EEC welcomed the release of the NSW Consumer Energy Strategy, which includes a $239 million Home Energy Saver Program and a commitment to introduce disclosure of home energy performance at point of sale or lease.

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, we need to cut emissions by about 7% annually. Right now, emissions are rising by 1.5% each year. Energy-related emissions contribute to more than 80% of this global total. And although renewable energy production has more than doubled in the last decade, it still makes up only slightly over 13% of total energy use, up from 9% in 2011.

Nova Scotia is unveiling new details on its planned public housing project. It says the bulk of the new homes will be coming to the Halifax area. As Skye Bryden-Blom reports, it’s also introducing 25 new modular units as it looks to bolster its affordable housing stock.
