SCIS Insight briefings highlight the key social benefits and real value of local climate action that local authorities across Scotland could implement.
This briefing - Heat Pumps - has been produced by the SCIS colleagues working on the UK Co-Benefits Atlas. It highlights the social benefits of shifting from fossil fuel heating to heat pumps - a low-carbon alternative technology. While not suitable for everyone, this briefing shows that a shift in how we heat our homes not only reduces emissions, but also helps local authorities to deliver on key service outcomes, reducing strain on public finances.
