Switching to renewable energy in the UK could prevent up to 52,000 premature deaths by 2030 due to reduced air pollution. [Source]
The International Renewable Energy Agency found that the UK could cut its energy-related CO2 emissions 96% by 2050 if it fully transitions to renewable energy. -
Retrofitting existing UK buildings could reduce carbon emissions in the built environment 36% by 2030. This would also prevent over 6,000 early deaths per year linked to cold homes and poor energy performance. An estimated £47 billion of lifetime savings would be generated, 4 times higher than the upfront investment needed. [Source]
