Possible solution to carbon emissions created by growing population
Repurposing vacant office buildings into homes may be the key to tackling rising carbon emissions.
The Climate Change Transformation Team was asked by Tynwald's Environment and Infrastructure Policy Review Committee how future population increases would affect the island's goal to be carbon neutral by 2050.
In July, the government unveiled a 15-year plan aiming to grow the population to 100,000 by 2037.
Whilst giving evidence to the Standing Committee, members of the Climate Team were asked how the resultant carbon emission increases could be offset.
Head of Programme and Delivery, Aly Lewin, and chairperson Daphne Caine MHK, gave some of the possible solutions:
Police carry out investigation following concerns over welfare of dog
Residency requirements and 2027 implementation among proposed changes to assisted dying bill
Isle of Man public service grows to 7,500
Prison mental health services unsafe, review says
Bus price set to rise from next weekÂ
