What does "improve heating" mean?

How does "direct pay to poor citizens" help climate change?

Perhaps the law wasn't really about climate change, but was another one of those times where policy someone wanted anyway was being pushed with climate change as an excuse.

In any case I can't form an opinion on this vote result without knowing what was actually being voted on.

Not Swiss, so this is mostly conjecture, but what is usually included in those types of proposals is to improve housing insulation and the heating network ( in the case of central heating, either per building or more central) making them more efficient, thus requiring less energy to achieve the same effect ( people aren't cold in their homes).
