Power to the regions

Climate policy for the cost-of-living crisis

This report demonstrates how cost-effective climate and nature policies can benefit key regions of the UK, saving many households hundreds of pounds a year while helping lift hundreds of thousands of people out of fuel poverty.

The report builds on recommendations set out in the September 2025 Pounds in Pockets report and highlights that well-designed policies can cut bills across the UK and deliver economic benefits for households and farmers.
