Sustainability

How would you like the Palace of Westminster to become a greener, more sustainable building?

Perhaps you have ideas about how we can reduce carbon emissions – both of the building itself, and as we carry out the restoration work.

Or perhaps you’re interested in increasing biodiversity, or minimising waste.

Between June and July 2021 we asked for your views and ideas about how we can make the Palace of Westminster a greener, more sustainable building. 

The views and ideas shared will help to inform the detailed and costed restoration and renewal plan. You can look at what people said below. You can also sign up for information on further activities that will follow in due course.

Parliament has decided that the Palace of Westminster will remain its permanent home, after the restoration project is complete. We are working on the detailed restoration plan which will be provided to Parliament for its decision. We want to take your views into account as we develop this plan.

There are many challenges in making a 150 year old historic building more sustainable. We have established sustainability aspirations and objectives. Find out more about what we mean by sustainability and about our sustainability policies.
