Recommendation 10

We suggest the successor committee charged with net zero oversight continue to aim to have set-piece annual check-ins with the Climate Change Committee and Scottish Government to assess progress and any emerging areas of difficulty. Audit Scotland, the Scottish Fiscal Commission and Environmental Standards Scotland are other key bodies. We strongly encourage our successor committee to continue the dialogue about emissions policy we had with them during this Session. Jointly these bodies can provide a realistic take on how the ambitions of government (at all levels) and agencies match up over the longer term to the real-life challenges of delivery.
