International Communications Framework
The framework provides a structure and plan to support public sector communicators and other organisations that are communicating with international audiences.
2. Policy context
The line between domestic and international policy is becoming even more closely connected, with global events directly impacting people in Scotland as well as overseas, meaning we face some of the most challenging economic conditions in living memory.
Scotland’s International Strategy with its three themes (Economy, Trade and Investment; Climate Change, Biodiversity and Renewable Energy, and; Reputation, Influence and Relationships) forms a critical part of our commitment to being a good global citizen. It outlines how we are addressing global challenges and demonstrates how our international work provides tangible benefits to Scotland’s people, businesses and institutions.
