About This Event

We know that Climate change, energy and sustainability agendas continue to be fast moving and that building and housing services play a vital role within these but the COVID-19 pandemic has brought these agendas into even sharper focus. This combined with the challenging financial position councils are facing and the Scottish affordable homes targets are leading local authorities to review and adapt the way they deliver these services.

This seminar brings together a range of expert speakers that will explore topics such as green recovery, green renewables and retrofitting as well as how councils can adopt innovative approaches to funding and service delivery post COVID-19 to support tenants and the wider community.

The session also presents an excellent opportunity for delegates to share best practice and gain an overview of how colleagues across Scotland are meeting the challenges.
