SCOTLAND'S CONTRIBUTION
TO COP26:
FREE ONE DAY ONLINE CONFERENCE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2021
A collaboration of over 20 organisations from across Scotland teamed up with The Herald on 26 October 2021 for a special, one-day, online conference on Scotland’s transition to net zero – Scotland’s contribution to COP26: a joined-up Just Transition.
The event not only examined the speed and scale at which Scotland must move to tackle climate change, but also ensured that no-one is left behind in the process.
As Scotland gets ready to welcome world leaders to Glasgow for the COP26 Summit, the conference spotlighted Scotland’s efforts in tackling climate change to achieve net zero carbon emissions. These efforts also have benefits and opportunities to create a wealthier, healthier, and more equal society.
The free, one-day conference looked at important just transition themes such as skills, circular economy, empowering young people, improving health outcomes and delivering sustainable economic growth to the Scottish economy.
