Section 1: Delivering a just transition

The following questions concern the Delivering a Just Transition section of the Plan, more specifically: communities, skills, workforce, employers and adapting to climate change.

1. What are your views on our approach to delivering a just transition for people and communities?
2. What skills, training and qualification provisions will be most important in a net zero future and what more could be done to support them?

We recognise that workers face particular impacts from the Plan and we have outlined our approach to supporting the transition of the workforce, including skills for jobs. 

3. How can we best support employers across the private, public and third sectors to make the changes needed and seize the benefits of net zero?

The Plan will bring opportunities and challenges for businesses and employers. 

4. What are your views on our approach to supporting places where the transition presents particular regional impacts?

Our approach recognises that some of the Plan’s impacts will have greater implications for particular regions of Scotland.
