@2020ClimateGrp

Climate change and delivering an economy based on securing sustainable energy sources are twin challenges for Scotland’s environment, economy and people.

Government alone cannot hope to tackle these challenges. The 2020 Group has come from; a view that those key people in Scotland who are in a position to contribute or influence action should work together.

The Group encourages greater collaboration and shared best practice between Scottish organisations and businesses.

Scotland has a target of 42% carbon reduction by 2020.
