Existing Homes Alliance Stage 1 Evidence – Climate Change Bill

The Existing Homes Alliance believes the Climate Change Bill offers an exciting opportunity for Scotland to implement the Paris Agreement and to respond to the recent report from the IPCC special report on the impacts of warming to 1.5 degrees C. We would like to see the Bill:

  • Include measures to progress policy action in energy efficiency
  • Provide a statutory framework for Energy Efficient Scotland, including targets.
  • Align the Scottish Budget with policy commitments on climate change, including energy efficiency.

About us

The Existing Homes Alliance Scotland is a coalition calling for urgent action to transform Scotland's existing housing stock and make it fit for the 21st century. Too many of Scotland's homes are in a poor condition meaning unnecessarily high fuel use.

We gratefully acknowledge funding support from the William Grant Foundation.
