Climate Action Plan 2020-25

Overview

Scotland has declared a climate emergency and our historic environment has unique potential to inspire climate action.

In this action plan for 2020-25, we have set out how we plan to transform the way we operate in response to the growing climate emergency. It builds on progress we have already made, but with a step-change increase in ambition and urgency. 

The actions in our plan focus on:

• how we will tackle the causes of the climate crisis and respond to the impacts
• changes in the way we protect and operate some of Scotland’s most recognisable places and landmarks and the landscapes and infrastructure around them
• sharing knowledge, building resilience, and investing in sustainability to support others to address the climate emergency
