… proposes a statutory duty on local authorities to develop Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies. These are a long-term, area-based approach to identify opportunities for reducing heat demand and developing low carbon heat solutions. Local authorities would be required to work with relevant stakeholders to develop such strategies and set out costed, phased delivery programmes…

… the public sector which is expected to take the lead in tackling climate change. For example, in its draft Climate Change Plan, the Scottish Government has set a target for 94% of non-domestic buildings to have heating and cooling supplied by low carbon technologies. Moreover, the Scottish Government proposes that a statutory duty be placed on local authorities to develop ‘Local Heat and Energy…

… Efficiency Strategies’ that take an area based approach to delivering energy efficiency and heat decarbonisation. Achieving such targets will require a transformational change in terms of energy provision and other aspects of society that contribute to climate change. The Climate Change Plan recognises the Council’s responsibility to contribute to this transformation. The Council will, therefore…

… for 94% of non- domestic buildings to have heating and cooling supplied using low carbon technologies by 2032.

In its 2017 Programme for Government, the Scottish Government states a commitment that there will be no new diesel and petrol vehicles by 2032. In terms of waste, the Scottish Government has set…

… a target to have only 5% of all waste sent to landfill by 2025. Energy is often regarded as the ‘golden thread’ with respect to climate change mitigation. The Scottish Government released its proposed Energy Strategy that takes a whole system view, integrating power, heat and transport. The Energy Strategy states an objective that 50% of heat, electricity and transport consumption to be supplied from…
