The Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act 2019 required Scottish Ministers to establish a citizens’ assembly on climate change, to function independently from the Scottish Government. The Assembly was organised and delivered by a Stewarding Group, Secretariat, Design and Facilitation Team, and Evidence Group, and was conducted over seven weekends between November 2020 and March 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It had 106 members who were randomly selected to broadly represent the wider population of Scotland with respect to key demographics and climate attitudes. The Assembly met online to deliberate on information provided by experts and produce a set of recommendations, addressing the question: How should Scotland change to tackle the climate emergency in an effective and fair way? The Assembly Report containing the recommendations was laid in the Scottish Parliament on 23 June 2021. The Act required Scottish Ministers to publish a statement within 6 months of receiving the report setting out how they intend to respond to the recommendations. A third of recommendations appear to broadly match existing or planned policy, with around a fifth being explored by government in some way albeit with no explicit commitment to implementing. Over a third of recommendations include policy that will not be taken forward.
