Scottish Government

The Scottish Government, a public administration and defence services provider (75) based in GB, has not disclosed comprehensive, directly attributable emissions data for recent years. However, their 2025 Carbon Neutral Islands Financing Roadmap indicates estimated impacts on Scope 2 emissions of about 88,700 metric tonnes CO2e and Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) emissions of approximately 81,000 metric tonnes CO2e.

Looking back to 2022, the roadmap highlights estimated greenhouse gas emissions from various categories, including 8,000 metric tonnes CO2e from "other" sources, 3,000 metric tonnes CO2e from electricity, 3,000 metric tonnes CO2e from heating oil, and 3,000 metric tonnes CO2e from biomass (including wood). In 2011, reported estimates included approximately 898,000 metric tonnes CO2e from waste and 6,000 metric tonnes CO2e from energy sources. It's important to note that these figures represent estimations and specific scope classifications are not provided for all data points.

While specific organizational emissions totals are not reported, the Scottish Government demonstrates a commitment to climate action through its wider public sector targets. NHS Scotland, for instance, has set a net-zero target by 2040, as detailed in its 2022-2026 Climate Emergency and Sustainability Strategy. This commitment reflects a broader governmental drive towards sustainability within Scotland. The Scottish Government's climate initiatives are directly reported and not cascaded from a parent organization.
