In order to support our approach to climate change, we receive independent advice from the Climate Change Committee, which provides expert guidance on emissions reduction targets and regular assessments of Scotland’s adaptation programs. We also have a Just Transition Commission, which advises the government on maximizing economic and social opportunities while managing risks and challenges related to meeting climate change targets. Additionally, we have established Scotland’s Climate Assembly to gather recommendations from a diverse group of people and ensure their voices are heard in our climate change policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These efforts are supported by legislation such as the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009, which was amended in 2019 to set more ambitious emissions reduction targets and introduce measures like a Citizens Assembly and a Scottish Nitrogen Balance Sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For further information on these initiatives, you can visit the archived websites of the Climate Change Assembly and our website’s archive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
