## Notice

ClimateXChange wishes to commission research on the use of 'trusted messengers' to inform the development and implementation of the Scottish Government's Heat In Buildings Public Engagement Strategy (HiBs PES), to be published early 2023. As such, importance will be placed on accessibility to early research insights from this project as it develops, to help inform parallel development of the strategy. Buildings account for around a fifth of Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, only a small minority of households in Scotland have a zero direct emissions heating system, such as a heat pump. To meet Scotland's net zero target, by 2045, almost all homes and buildings must be using a zero direct emissions heating system. The Heat in Buildings Strategy (October 2021) sets out how the Scottish Government will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scotland's homes, and achieve warmer, greener and more energy efficient heating in Scotland's buildings in the years to 2045 with commitment to decarbonise the heating of at least 1 million homes by 2030. Delivering these ambitions will only be possible with the active participation of building owners and occupiers across Scotland.
