What we do
The group aims to consider how Scotland’s business, voluntary and public sectors can work together to help achieve Scotland’s targets and the transformational changes required in the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Delivery Plan. The Scottish Government’s Climate Change Delivery Plan sets out the high level measures required in each sector to meet Scotland's statutory climate change targets, to 2020 and in the long term.
The Plan sets out what is required to be done now, and in the medium and long term, to achieve emissions reduction targets. It is a precursor to the more detailed statutory report on Proposals and Policies to be produced in 2010, which will set out how the Scottish Government will meet their annual targets out to 2022.
The delivery plan describes four transformational outcomes which the Scottish Government is working towards, and they are:
- A largely de-carbonised electricity generation sector by 2030;
- A largely de-carbonised heat sector by 2050 with significant progress by 2030;
- Almost complete decarbonisation of road transport by 2050 with significant progress by 2030;
- A comprehensive approach to ensure that carbon (including the cost of carbon) is fully factored into strategic and local decisions about rural land use.
Delivery of these transformational outcomes will be considered in five sector themes:
- Electricity Demand and Supply;
- Heat Demand and Supply;
- Transport;
- Waste;
- Rural Land Use.
These five sectors present the 2020 Climate Group with an opportunity to align our efforts to challenge actions to reach the targets and demonstrate leadership.

The remit for the group, is to:
- build on the work of the Climate Change Business Delivery Group and other climate change alliances to provide strong, visible leadership to Scotland's business and non-governmental communities to inspire them to do more to reduce carbon emissions;
- help drive innovation through partnerships and synergies between members;
- advise on, and aim to make early progress towards, achievement of the outcomes and targets of the Climate Change Delivery Plan;
- identify relevant action and opportunities, and collaborate, to bring benefits to the Scottish economy;
- identify where the group can best target its resources and expertise to accelerate the development, investment and action required across the following areas: Heat, Electricity, Waste, Transport, Rural land use & forestry, Consumer behaviour & attitudes;
- to help ensure that Scotland is taking action to prepare for the impacts and realise the opportunities that a changing climate will bring and to contribute to building resilience and adaptive capacity. To achieve this, the group will work collaboratively across sectors sharing information, insight and expertise.
