Climate change delivery: improvement report
This improvement plan is in response to the Environmental Standards Scotland Investigation into climate change delivery, and sets out actions the Scottish Government will take in relation to the reporting of scope 3 emissions for local authorities in Scotland.
Proposed method of reporting scope 3 emissions
Currently LAs use the public bodies statutory reporting framework for reporting on their GHG emissions. The information is collected via spreadsheets, and held by the Sustainable Scotland Network (SSN) who produce an annual analysis report and publish all reporting bodies submissions on their website[7].
Whilst a scoping exercise is currently in progress to modernise the reporting system it is anticipated that LAs will be able to utilise the current reporting method for their corporate scope 3 emissions, as some bodies already have.
