In the latest episode of our Transition Talks podcast, we are joined by Liam Kerr, MSP for North East Scotland and Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero, Energy and Transport, to discuss the findings of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee’s report on the role of local government and its partners in financing and delivering a net-zero Scotland.
Liam delves into the main barriers hindering local net zero delivery progress and points out effective solutions. He emphasises the need for best practices and knowledge sharing across local authorities and the imperative for cross-party collaboration in addressing the climate emergency.
