Meeting description: To discuss the Scottish Parliament's scrutiny of the climate change plan update and in particular Government plans therein to decarbonise heat in buildings. We discussed our manifesto asks of a Green New Deal for homes by phasing out gas boilers securing 500m investment in low-carbon heat networks over the next five years and supporting all homes to be energy efficient by 2030 with a doubling of the fuel poverty budget. We also discussed the potential for a green recovery and job creation through energy efficiency and heat network deployment.
