Britain's efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy are being hindered by a lack of progress in electrifying homes, according to a government climate adviser. The warning comes as the UK faces increasing pressure to meet its ambitious net-zero emissions targets by 2050.

The government adviser's comments highlight the need for urgent action to accelerate the rollout of electric heating systems and upgrade Britain's aging housing stock.
