ISEP is pleased to publish its response to the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero’s consultation on their draft supplementary guidance for assessing the effects of scope 3 emissions on climate from offshore oil and gas projects. Here, Rufus Howard, ISEP’s policy and engagement lead for impact assessment, discusses the key aspects of the Institute’s response.
Each year, ISEP publishes a briefing note on the Conference of the Parties – ISEP’s Senior Policy and Engagement Lead for Climate Change and Energy Chloë Fiddy looks at the key topics on the agenda and the outcomes that ISEP would like to see from COP29.
ISEP responded to the consultation on the mechanics of the proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), making three recommendations on the need to introduce the CBAM as soon as possible, to improve the accuracy of data being submitted and the harmonisation of the scheme with other CBAMs.
ISEP responded to the consultation on the Future Homes Standard proposals, and recommended that Option 1 is taken forward, and noted that embodied carbon should have been included in the consultation. The response also expressed disappointment that more ambitious proposals were not put forward in the consultation, given that alternatives exist which are financially viable and better for the environment.
