In the run-up to COP26, rural and island Scotland is well placed to be at the global forefront of addressing the climate emergency. The purpose of this Scottish Rural Parliament session was to explore how local communities can be empowered and resourced to take the lead in green energy generation and sustainable approaches to land management, food production, transport and economic development. In addition to the report and recommendations below, the session discussions shaped the Scottish Rural Parliament’s response to the Scottish Government’s Net Zero Nation Consultation.
