Abstract

The conclusion of the Joint Budget Review on matters related to climate change between the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament was published just before Christmas : https://www.parliament.scot/-/media/files/committees/net-zero-energy-and-transport-committee/correspondence/2022/20221118_sg_jbr_report.pdf

We were commissioned by the Scottish Government, via ClimateXChange, to undertake research that intends to inform the Review and provide a set of recommendations. Our report was published alongside the Review and can be found here: https://www.climatexchange.org.uk/projects/improving-emissions-assessment-of-scottish-government-spending-decisions-and-the-scottish-budget/

Parliamentary committees reflected on this work in their correspondence with Government. You can read the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee’s response here and the Finance and Public Administration Committee’s response here. The Government has since responded.

This post provides the lead author’s reflections on the Scottish Government’s response to the recommendations.
