[ Defossilization focus 💭 ] In the face of mounting evidence pointing to the detrimental effects of climate change, there is a compelling need to mitigate its impact. At the heart of this effort lies the process of defossilization. Defossilization, which is the process of reducing and eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels, is crucial in the context of climate change for several important reasons Would you like to know more about defossilization ?

As 198 countries work through the night at #cop28 to salvage a deal on #climatechange and a global approach to fossil fuels, what are we doing about it here in Scotland? I wrote two blogs based on a speech I gave in London for Cornerstone Barristers Planning Day, “Planning to tackle Climate Change in Scotland". Here are the key takeaways 🍔 ❇ The purpose of planning in Scotland is defined as being to manage the development & use of land in the long term public interest ❇ The 'public interest' is anything that contributes to sustainable development or achieves the National Outcomes ❇ Scotland's 11 National Outcomes are based on UN Sustainable Development Goals and include that people in Scotland ➡ live in communities that are inclusive, empowered, resilient and safe and ➡ value, enjoy, protect and enhance their environment ❇ National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) is clear that the twin global climate and nature crises are at the heart of the vision for a future Scotland ❇ The reduction of greenhouse gases is the first cross-cutting outcome set out in NPF4 ❇ Policy 1 of NPF4 says that significant weight will be given to the global climate and nature crises and this policy (uniquely) connects with all other policies within NPF4 ❇ Although as yet untested, this strong & clear policy framework can be contrasted with a weaker policy position on climate change in England ❇ In England, if Development Plan policies require mitigation/adaptation to climate change to be taken into account, then this must be done but the weight to be attached will be for the decision maker to decide ❇ The interpretation and application of policy remains the job of the planning decision-makers in Scotland - council officers, elected members, reporters (inspectors in England) and the courts; training and support will be key ❇ For the first time an audited process is underway by the UK audit offices analysing how the 4 nations are performing on achieving net zero yet no mention is made of NPF4 and the central importance it has to play in Scotland ❇ It will be interesting to see whether Scotland excels in the fight against climate change comparative to our sister nations
Johanna Boyd explores the role of NPF4 in tackling climate change, in the second of two blogs. Take a look 👀 https://lnkd.in/eUgZuz2K
