Our strategy

Changeworks’ strategy is clear and simple – to decarbonise Scotland’s homes. 

The Scottish Government has set a legally binding target for net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045 and an 80% reduction in emissions by 2030. This will require one million homes in Scotland to convert to low-carbon heating systems by 2030 and the energy efficiency of these and many more homes to be improved. 

So, the work to achieve this ambitious target must take place now.
