Countdown to 2020
Countdown to 2020
Climate Change Minister, Aileen McLeod, said:
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing global society today. Scientific opinion warns that unmitigated climate change threatens our way of life and the ecosystems on which we depend. The Scottish Government is committed to working with the business community, and wider civil society, to deliver Scotland’s world-leading climate change targets.
“These targets are not only for the Scottish Government, but for the whole of Scottish society and I therefore greatly value the support of Scotland’s 2020 Climate Group. Its role in providing a unique opportunity for Scottish leaders in the private, public and third sectors to work together towards achieving Scotland’s climate change targets is extremely valuable. By facilitating smarter collaborations and better conversations within the business community, the Group is very much regarded as an honest and critical friend in providing advice on how to drive forward our shared low carbon ambitions.
“Sustained commitment from the Group’s key partners, through leading by example, mobilising resources and bringing people together, will undoubtedly see the Group develop from strength to strength.”
