Publication: Transforming the approach to Climate Change: Lessons from public audit - audit scope

The Scottish Government and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) recognise climate change as one of the biggest threats to communities across Scotland and have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. At an international level, the United Nations has called climate change the defining issue of our time. The Scottish Government acknowledges that some changes to the climate in Scotland are already taking place. This will mean changes to Scotland’s weather patterns with significant impacts on society, the economy and the environment.
