Scotland has statutory targets to become a net zero emission economy and the energy industry is a key sector of our economy. Scotland has an abundance of energy resources and harnessing them in the energy transition is a global opportunity we must seize. There are decarbonisation challenges across the economy and society, and a transition will not happen without actions at all levels. A managed transition is vital for the economy to secure the future of key industries, jobs and prosperity while creating new green growth.
