Scotland’s economy and the skills and industries that drive economic growth both now and in the future are a key part of the Committee’s remit.
There is currently a target of 2045 for Scotland to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero.
Industry is the second highest carbon emitting sector in Scotland after transport and the Scottish Government aims to reduce emissions by around a third by 2030.
The Committee agreed to hold an inquiry into a Just Transition to net zero for the Grangemouth area.
The Committee wanted to look at how we can support, incentivise and de-risk this transition in a way that benefits both companies and individuals.
As part of the inquiry, the Committee undertook a call for views which closed on 14 February 2023 and received 26 responses in total.
These are the meetings where this inquiry was discussed
