Scottish Government's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, the Scottish Government reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,238,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 2,231,000 kg CO2e. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions. Currently, the Scottish Government has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action and emissions reduction strategies. The Scottish Government's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are independently reported. As the government continues to address climate change, future commitments and initiatives will be crucial in achieving meaningful reductions in carbon emissions.
