Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said today that we need to take the fight against climate change into our homes and living rooms as he sets out a range of initiatives to enable people to make their homes greener.

He said: "It is because none of us will be immune to dangerous climate change, that we all need to take steps to prevent it happening. These initiatives will give people the support to do this in their everyday lives.

"This is essential because if we are to stop climate change's worst consequences, changes need to be made in people's kitchens, living rooms and communities, as much as in industry boardrooms, parliamentary debating chambers or around the international negotiating table."
