Recommendation 21

As the focus turns from scrutiny of the CCP to delivering its policies, the Scottish Government should communicate its contents clearly and accessibly using a variety of formats and approaches. This should include setting out what the Plan will mean for people’s everyday lives, how progress will be tracked, and the wider social, economic and health benefits of the transition. It could make use of the early warning indicators “dashboard” we proposed earlier. The Scottish Government’s communication on net zero delivery should be developed with input from communities and other relevant groups, including young people, cultural bodies and researchers.
