Response to the Climate Change Plan consultation
-
3 February 2026
This week, CAS responded to the Scottish Government’s consultation on a Climate Change Plan for 2026-40, based on evidence from across the network. Within our response, we make a number of recommendations, including that the Scottish Government:
• Ensures that the Plan prioritises the elimination of fuel poverty and that this is a central part of the Plan’s purpose.
• Targets energy efficiency and low carbon heating schemes to those who need it most and are least able to pay.
• Contributes to the public’s trust in energy efficiency and low carbon heat measures by reviewing current schemes, strengthening accreditation of installers and improving monitoring of standards.
