STUC Our Climate: Our Homes Campaign

That the Parliament welcomes the Our Climate: Our Homes campaign, which has been launched by the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC); notes that it has been launched in collaboration with tenants unions, anti-poverty groups, environmentalists and academics in order to upgrade and decarbonise Scotland’s homes; understands that the campaign is calling on local authorities to write to the Scottish Government asking for funding to establish municipal energy companies, is calling for the Scottish Government to provide funding to local authorities to establish these companies and deliver area-based programmes, and is calling for the Scottish Government to establish a national infrastructure company to support local authorities in decarbonising buildings, and calls on the Scottish Government to take action to support this campaign.
