Our bold plan to make scotland net zero by 2045

SECURING A JUST AND FAIR TRANSITION TO NET ZERO A just transition to net zero – REDUCING EMISSIONS IN A WAY THAT’S FAIR AND LEAVES NO ONE BEHIND – is central to securing a green recovery

from COVID, and is embedded in Scotland’s climate change legislation. It puts PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES AND PLACES at the heart of our approach to climate action. It ensures we work together in

order to capture opportunities, tackle existing inequalities, and MITIGATE THE RISKS TO THOSE WORST IMPACTED – so we don’t repeat the mistakes of Thatcher, where too many communities were

simply left behind. To do that, we have appointed a JUST TRANSITION COMMISSION which advises the Scottish Government on the best ways to go forward. > 🌍 As we move to net zero, we must

that those who are amongst the most affected by climate change often have done the least to contribute to it, and are often the least equipped to adapt to its effects. That’s why CLIMATE

JUSTICE RUNS THROUGH THE HEART OF OUR CLIMATE PLANS – supporting those impoverished and most at risk of climate change, mostly in developing countries. Scotland established the world’s first

and only government-led CLIMATE JUSTICE FUND, empowering communities in Malawi, Rwanda and Zambia and helping them build resilience to climate change impacts. And what’s more, at COP26

Scotland became the first country to commit FUNDING TO LOSS AND DAMAGE, to help the world’s most vulnerable communities recover and rebuild from climate-related events, like floods and

fires. Climate expert, Prof. Saleemul Huq, has praised Scotland’s groundbreaking commitment and said Nicola Sturgeon was “the true leader” at COP. > 📣 "The true leader at #COP26…is
