It's critical that Net Zero Scotland pushes ahead with Heat in Buildings Bill- Chris Stark was clear that this can create jobs and opportunities as well as cut emissions. Industry needs certainty on standards to invest to grow - the heat in buildings bill can provide that.

Fair climate action will unlock major benefits.
