🌍 Important updates from Net Zero Scotland - Scottish Government 🌍 The Scottish Government has shared an insightful post on how carbon budgets are being utilised by countries globally to manage their emissions and stay on course for net-zero targets. These budgets are crucial for ensuring accountability and driving meaningful action on climate change. But it raises a vital question: Are we fully maximising the potential of carbon budgets to accelerate our progress toward net zero? Now is the time to reflect and act. Public-private partnerships play a crucial role in achieving these goals. By aligning policy, technology, and innovation, we can overcome the challenges and unlock the full potential of carbon budgeting. 💬 What innovative strategies do you think could strengthen the implementation of carbon budgets and help us move faster towards our net zero future? 🔗 Check out the full post here and add your voice to the discussion!
