Introduction

EDRC and UKERC welcome the publication of Scotland’s Draft Climate Change Plan: 2026-2040, and the Scottish Government’s commitment to meeting the Climate Change Committee’s recommended Carbon Budgets to 2040, as part of Scotland’s contribution to international climate mitigation efforts.

In our response to the consultation on the Draft Climate Change Plan, our experts have engaged with many detailed issues of research evidence and policy effectiveness across different sectors of the economy. At the same time, we emphasise the need to take a whole system, economy-wide view of Scotland’s transition towards net zero.
