## Resource

In this episode of Climate Economics with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how green mortgages—loans that offer better rates for energy-efficient homes—are quietly changing the housing market. They dive into a concrete case: a pilot program by a major UK lender that offers a 0.25% rate reduction for homes with an Energy Performance Certificate rating of A or B. They discuss how this creates a direct financial incentive for homeowners to retrofit, the potential to shift the housing stock, and the challenges like verification and the upfront cost barrier. The episode also touches on the broader implications for the mortgage-backed securities market and whether governments should mandate energy labels for all homes. A smart take on how a simple financial tweak could drive massive carbon reductions. #GreenMortgages #EnergyEfficiency #HousingMarket #ClimateEconomics #Retrofitting #UKHousing #MortgageRates #EnergyPerformanceCertificate #GreenFinance #EconomicsPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #CarbonReduction #HomeRetrofit #SustainableHousing #PolicyIncentives #GreenLending Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
