Air source heat pump surrounded by caging. Text reads 'clean heating systems, ensuring they are affordable for all'.
Background image is grass with three shovels sticking out of the soil. Text reads 'Scotland’s draft Climate Change Plan is currently out for consultation. The plan outlines the Scottish Government’s policies and proposals to reduce emissions and meet carbon budgets between 2026-2040. The plan notes that around 1.9million homes will move from fossil fuel powered heating systems (such as gas boilers) to clean energy systems such as heat pumps by 2045. Why heat pumps?'
Background image shows a roof with several solar panels. Text reads 'Heat pumps are referred to as clean heating systems as they're powered entirely by electricity which can be generated from renewable sources (e.g. solar panels & wind turbines). What's the issue with heat pumps? The main concern for individuals looking to install a heat pump is the cost associated. The cost isn't only for the heat pump itself but also for other preparatory works such as improving insulation in the property.'
Cream background with Hub logo. Text reads 'check out the consultation guide. See our website for details of the measures that the Government has set out to help make clean heating systems more affordable. When reading the proposals, consider: Do you feel there is anything else that the government could do? Are there barriers to the proposed measures? climateactionlanarkshire.net'.
The draft #ClimateChangePlan set out measures to make clean heating systems (such as heat pumps) more affordable. 💚

An electric car charger in the foreground with several electric vehicles out of focus in the background. Text reads: 'zero emissions vehicles - making the transition'.
Background image is of wildflowers in a window box planter. Text reads: "Scotland’s draft Climate Change Plan is currently out for consultation. The plan outlines the Scottish Government’s policies and proposals to reduce emissions and meet carbon budgets between 2026-2040. The plan includes a large section on transport, including targets for electric vehicles and their infrastructure such as public charging points."
Background image is electric community transport bus plugged into a charging point. Text reads: "Whilst the plan notes a number of policies to increase use of public transport, it recognises car ownership remains high. With petrol & diesel vehicles having negative impacts on the environment, electric vehicles are a less polluting alternative. The govt acknowledges that for individuals to transition to an electric vehicle a number of things like funding & infrastructure are required."
