5672902ScotlandUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope2. Governance2.1Describe how your region integrates climate-related actions (goals, targets and/or strategies) into its master planning.4Please explain1Scotland’s domestic statutory climate change framework is established under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 (as amended by the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act 2019), which includes economy-wide emissions reduction targets on a path to reaching net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. A strategic delivery plan for meeting emissions reduction targets is required at least every 5 years. . Scotland’s current Climate Change Plan covers actions over the period to 2032, and was updated in December 2020 to reflect both the increased ambition of the targets set in response to the Paris Agreement by the 2019 Climate Change Act, and also the context of a green recovery from COVID-19. The updated Climate Change Plan demonstrates a comprehensive and credible pathway to meeting Scotland’s ambitious emissions reduction targets, including actions to address emissions from electricity production, buildings, transport, industry, waste, land use and forestry, and agriculture . Scottish Climate Change Adaptation Programme (SCCAP2) • In September 2019, we published our second 5-yearly statutory Climate Change Adaptation Programme. The programme sets out how the Scottish Government is responding to the main climate risks for Scotland. In total, there are around 170 policies and proposals which bring together a range of sectors from across government: from transport and infrastructure to flooding and the natural environment. The Programme is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Scotland’s National Performance Framework and champions climate justice, and promotes a people-centred, human-rights approach to climate change adaptation. Other Key Action Areas Out with these sectors covered in the Climate Change Plan, climate change action is being mainstreamed in a number of ways and we are acutely aware of the importance of cross-cutting issues such as education, health, planning and investment in our transition to net zero. For example, our future Infrastructure Investment Plans will be accompanied by an assessment of how they are expected to contribute to meeting emissions reduction targets and the Scottish National Investment Bank will soon be operational with a net zero objective and eventually investing its £2 billion capitalisation. Our forthcoming update to the National Planning Framework (NPF4) is also expected to play a key role in ensuring climate change action is delivered on the ground through development and reshaping our places. National Performance Framework The Scottish Government's national performance framework also helps to ensure that across government we are working towards a set of coherent, ambitious and positive outcomes. One of our 11 outcomes as a government is that we value, enjoy, protect and enhance our environment, recognising that it is our duty to protect and enhance these assets as essential to our economy, culture, way of life and the wellbeing of future generations. All of these collective actions can help us to achieve our vision of a sustainable, inclusive, wellbeing economy.

Please explain how.4Please explain1•The Scottish Governmentcollaborates with local authorities in Scotland on the full range of climate change initiatives, including green transport, electric vehicles and city low emissions zones, heat networks, domestic and commercial energy efficiency schemes, waste, recycling, circular economy, flood prevention and climate change adaptation.•All 32 Scottish Local Authorities signed Scotland’s Climate Change Declaration in 2007. Under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009, local authorities and other public bodies in Scotland are under a statutory duty to contribute to Scotland’s national effort on climate mitigation and adaptation and to act sustainably. There is also a statutory duty on all public sector bodies to conserve biodiversity and develop local biodiversity action plans in Scotland. •In November 2019, Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, Roseanna Cunningham MSP announced the creation of a network of Community Climate Action Hubs. The hubs will be spread across Scotland – including an islands hub – and will provide support in their local areas, helping groups to take advantage of community funding opportunities, and promoting collaboration between projects. Our new model for community level action against climate change will reflect on the strength of the community response to COVID-19 and on how communities have pulled together to meet local needs.•The Scottish Government continues to provide significant funding and support for community climate action which has been found to be a vital means of helping people to explore and adopt low carbon behaviours, and of building local capacity for continued bottom-up change. The Climate Challenge Fund is one example of the government support available to communities across Scotland to take action on climate change and make the move to low carbon living. Since 2008, the Scottish Government has made 1,170 awards valued at over £111 million to communities across all 32 local authorities in Scotland.

Governance2.2Do you collaborate with cities/local governments in developing and/or meeting each other’s environmental-related targets, goals and/or strategies? Please explain how.4Please explain2Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, we have continued to provide funding for the 68 Climate Challenge Fund projects currently in progress across Scotland. In 2020-21, a total of £53m will be allocated. These projects include a core focus on energy efficiency, for example with the rolling out of heat pumps. Additionally, future transport investment decisions will continue to be made in line with both the Sustainable Travel and Sustainable Investment hierarchies, prioritising walking, wheeling, cycling and public and shared transport options in preference to single occupancy private car use across Scotland’s 32 Local Authorities.•Establishing a national Nitrogen Balance Sheet will help improve the evidence base, and better inform decision-making, across a range of policy areas. These include air quality, transport, agriculture and waste management, as well as climate change. We are committed to establishing a Balance Sheet for Scotland by March 2023 . The Nitrogen Balance Sheet will support national climate change targets, with nitrous oxide being a major greenhouse gas.

Governance2.3Do you collaborate with national governments in developing and/or meeting each other’s environmental-related targets, goals and/or strategies? Please explain how.4Please explain1The UK Climate Change Act includes a formal role for the Scottish Government, including in relation to the Act’s targets and carbon budgets. For example, before laying a draft statutory instrument containing an order setting a carbon budget, the UK Government must take into account any representations made by the Scottish Government. The UK Act also establishes the Climate Change Committee to provide independent advice about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for climate change. The Climate Change Committee is jointly sponsored by the UK Government and devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who work together to appoint members of the Committee and agree the Committee’s work programme.While Scotland has its own climate change legislation, and can use devolved powers in a number of areas to reduce emissions, substantial levers are controlled by the UK Government including parts of the fiscal system, decarbonisation of the gas and electricity grid, and development of hydrogen capacity. Policies and proposals where competence is not wholly devolved are informed by regular discussions between the Scottish and UK Governments.The Scottish Government also works with the UK Government to share best practice and research on climate change, and contributes to UK Government reports on climate change as appropriate. Despite progress in Scotland, the scale of the challenge in reducing emissions means that we also need urgent action in areas reserved to the UK Government to unlock further action in Scotland. The Climate Change Plan update contains our full list of UK Government asks and these include changes to parts of the fiscal system, decarbonisation of the gas and electricity grid, the development of hydrogen capacity, further investment in carbon capture and storage and further incentive mechanisms for renewable electricity deployment (e.g. CfD). There are also key areas where we need to drive demand, where collaboration across a UK market would help to capture the opportunities from the transition, such as in heat decarbonisation, industrial decarbonisation, zero emission vehicles and green finance. The Scottish Government will continue to work with the UK Government and push for action in these areas.
