Our Head of Consultancy Ian Cochran has had his thoughts on the climate change policy the new UK Government should prioritise in its first six months published in a new book.
Joining a consortium of market practitioners, experts and academics, the book is a joint venture between Kings College, London, and the University of Edinburgh Business School where Ian lectures in climate finance and investment.

Part of our important work is to ensure that those struggling with energy bills are supported to reduce costs and stay warm in their homes.
With around 35% of households in Scotland in fuel poverty, this work is more vital than ever.
Would you like to play a pivotal role in your community? Do you have great interpersonal skills?
We have opportunities across Scotland to volunteer with us as a Community Connector.
All volunteers are provided with energy training before attending events to pass this on to local and rural communities. By providing energy advice you can help householders reduce their energy use, bring down bills and minimise carbon emissions to help tackle climate change.
