SUMMARY:Scotland Draft Climate Change Plan Engagement: Deadline for Responses
DESCRIPTION:Scottish Government published its draft Climate Change Plan on Thursday 6 November 2025\, which sets out how Scotland intends to meet its emission reduction targets across all sectors of the economy. \nLegal process means that Scottish Parliament has 120 days to scrutinise the Plan (with 75 days left as of Thursday 11 December 2025); the Net Zero\, Energy and Transport Committee will lead this work before reporting back to Scottish Government with conclusions and recommendations. \nTo make sure the voices of people across Scotland are heard\, the Committee has launched an online engagement platform where anyone can share their views on the draft Plan. This is not a Call for Views consultation\, which are usually completed by organisations and academics – it is an opportunity for people and community groups to tell the Committee\, and Scottish Government\, what they think about how Scotland reaches net zero emissions. \nWhy This Matters\nThe Committee will use the feedback it receives to question witnesses – including the Cabinet Secretary – and to hold Scottish Government to account regarding the Plan. \nThe Government then has limited time to make changes before publishing the final Plan\, so public input is vital to ensure the Committee’s MSPs are asking the right questions based on the needs of people across Scotland. \n“Every contribution helps strengthen scrutiny and ensures Scotland’s climate policies reflect the voices of its people.” \nHow to Take Part\nThe online platform focuses the discussion on 4 key themes: \n\naccessibility of the Plan\ntransparency and accountability\ncommunity-led climate action\nsupport for households to reach net zero\n\nOnce registered on the platform\, people can give a thumbs up👍\, thumbs down 👎\, or comment on each theme. Contributions can be from individual people\, or groups. \nThe deadline for responses is Sunday 25 January 2026. \nTo register and submit your response\, or for further information\, please visit the draft Climate Change Plan Engagement Platform (linked for your convenience). \nFurther Information and Support\nAlternatively\, for further information: \n\nread  Scottish Government’s draft Climate Change Plan\nread the Easy Read Version of the Plan\nread the Children & Young People’s Version of the Plan\n\nThere is also a conversation guide (linked for your convenience as both a Word document and a pdf) to help groups discuss the Plan offline before submitting their views online or by post (submission details are included in the pack). \nIf any group would like support to facilitate these conversations\, please contact the Participation and Communities Team (PACT) by email: pact@parliament.scot
