Recommendation 15

We would strongly encourage our successor committee leading on climate change in the next session to ensure that the Parliament plays an effective public role in considering the effectiveness of policies on adaptation to climate change and resilience in the run-up to the laying of a new National Adaptation Plan when the current one ends in 2029. This could include encouraging other committees to play their part in this work. Audit Scotland, ESS and the Scottish Fiscal Commission are again likely to be key partners in this work. There is also the option to commission research on the delivery of specific aspects of this in the run-up to 2029.
