Less than a week left to book for SFHA's Climate Change and Sustainability event

SFHA’s Housing Now, Housing’s Future: Climate Change and Sustainability Conference, taking place on 4 February, has sessions for those working in energy efficiency, fuel poverty, climate change and sustainability.  

Delegates will hear directly from the Scottish Government about its plans to work with the social housing sector to achieve energy efficiency and climate change targets. You’ll also learn how conference sponsors Changeworks, Scotland’s leading environmental charity, can support the work of housing associations and co-operatives as well as their tenants.  

The event also includes sessions on tenement retrofit, electric vehicles, and how to increase the impact of your work. The Existing Homes Alliance (ExHA) will give an overview of the Scottish Government’s recently published Climate Change Action Plan update and discuss the forthcoming Heat in Buildings and Fuel Poverty Strategies, exploring what they mean for the social housing sector and how ExHA is aiming to influence this work. 

Here are some of the conference highlights:
