Recommendation 29

The Committee asks the Scottish Government to note views in evidence that the Plan should set out a clearer vision on the future for the oil and gas industry in Scotland, whether that is, as some argued, that it should commit to a clear end to oil and gas extraction in Scottish waters and map a path to it or, as others argued, that it should make a case for continued (albeit declining) oil and gas extraction, within an overall context of achieving a Just Transition to net zero by 2045.
