To meet UK commitments under the Paris Agreement to stay below 1.5C and legal obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008, as amended in 2019, emissions from heating and powering homes must be reduced by 78% in less than 15 years and then to zero by 2050.
Nearly 15% of the UK's total emissions comes from heating homes. The CCC flag the "stalled" work, which 'must be viewed and supported by the Treasury as a national infrastructure priority" (2019) for energy efficiency, job investment & health

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want to see action to insulate homes in the UK, but we're not sure if you want this to apply to only social housing (referred to in your title) or all homes (referred to in the main text of your petition). In any case, the UK Government is only responsible for housing in England, and not Scotland or Wales.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
