Sustainability and Climate Change

Documents

Description

The climate is in crisis, and we must act now to limit global warming before it’s too late. In response to this, the Scottish Government declared a climate emergency in 2019 and set out a net zero emissions target to be reached by 2045.

As a public sector body RoS has a duty to contribute and align ourselves with this target, and to embed sustainability throughout everything we do.

We are committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2045 . Our new Sustainability & Climate Change Strategy (SCCS) 2021-26 sets out an initial 5-year approach, and our Year 2 Progress Report provides an update on achievements and next steps. This report will soon be followed by an SCCS Update 2024, which we will publish later in Q1.
