During this hosting of the Scottish Labour Party leadership team our staff used the opportunity to discuss climate change and renewables and promote and demonstrate the importance of wind and other renewable technology in Net Zero but also from an economic and jobs creation perspective. We highlighted the role that Green Hydrogen plays within renewable generation and Net Zero as well as the opportunity for green jobs within the energy industry. We also raised the ecological aspect of onshore windfarms including peat restoration and the importance that ecology and environment has on also achieving our Net Zero targets. Finally we highlighted the importance of infrastructure in moving towards electric transport and low-carbon heating raising the role of the electricity network and the funding that is required now to facilitate this transition.

SLE outlined our position on the role of land managers in tackling climate change that they will have a major role in helping the government meet its targets. We also discussed potential new legislation on wildlife management and shared our view that any proposed licencing scheme for the operation of grouse moors must be both workable for practitioners and proportionate to ensure that such a scheme did not damage the grouse moor economy.

We discussed new statutory targets to reduce fuel poverty and carbon emissions the actions required to achieve these targets and implications for the forthcoming budget for 2020/2021. We spoke about the need for a significant increase in investment from Scottish Government to ensure that all homes as far as practically possible are brought up to a minimum energy efficiency standard and that costs are not passed on to low income households. We also highlighted the fact that social landlords have invested significant amounts in energy efficiency to date and that the majority of this has been paid for through borrowing which will be serviced through social housing tenants' rent. Also provided the Member with our view that without funding from Scottish Government there is a risk that increases in rent could outweigh the potential benefits of cheaper fuel bills. We also spoke about the need for consumer protection advice and information particularly in relation to home owners.

We introduced the Climate Emergency Response Group (CERG) to the Cabinet Secretary. We presented the purpose of the Group emphasising its aim to inform and influence the Scottish Government's response to the climate emergency through constructive proposals outlining practical actions that the Scottish Government can take. We highlighted CERG's 4 priority recommendations which are: to introduce a mandatory Net Zero 'Test' for public sector decisions on policy planning and investment; to enable local authorities to unlock the finance needed to drive action on climate change mitigation and adaptation; to introduce fiscal levers as part of a coherent strategy to reduce car reliance and improve places for people; and to create the right environment for commercial building sector commitment to a large-scale retrofit and heat decarbonisation pilot in every Scottish city. We presented CERG's ability to convene groups of experts to share their experience and ideas on actions to facilitate a rapid and just transition. Lastly we discussed CERG's plan to prepare and circulate discussion papers on each proposal over the summer and to organise roundtables between CERG members external experts government representatives and Ministers in the autumn. We asked the Cabinet Secretary whether she saw value in this approach.

The meeting was an opportunity for Stop Climate Chaos Scotland (SCCS) to share its positions on climate change (most specifically the forthcoming Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill) with Cabinet Secretary. Those representing SCCS argued for greater ambition in the forthcoming legislation consistent with SCCS' public policy positions. Specifically Christian Aid lobbied for greater urgency on climate targets and action to reflect those most affected by climate change overseas plus the fact that retaining Scotland's leadership on this issue would have economic benefits for Scotland.

We sought to raise the importance of nuclear energy to Scotland's current energy mix and Net Zero pathway as well as the importance of the Scottish nuclear supply chain to the Scottish economy. We explained why we believe the Scottish Government's stated opposition to new power plants and its stated intention to use devolved planning powers to block any new nuclear plants should be dropped. We discussed our interest in forming a Cross-Party Group on Nuclear Energy. We highlighted the unique contribution of Torness power Station (Scotland's only remaining generating nuclear station) to the East Lothian economy the Scottish energy mix and to UK energy security and emissions reduction as a whole. We asked for support in creating opportunities to debate power in the Scottish Parliament to increase scrutiny of the Scottish Government's attitude to nuclear energy and to include a role for new nuclear in Scotland in future policymaking.
