Good morning, and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2026 of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee.
Our first item of business is a decision on whether to take items 8, 9 and 10 in private. Item 8 is consideration of today’s evidence from NatureScot. Item 9 is consideration of a letter from the Scottish Government on appointments to the board of Environmental Standards Scotland. Item 10 is consideration of the committee’s approach to scrutiny of the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill. I would also like to get the committee’s agreement on taking our draft report on the draft climate change plan in private at future meetings. Do we agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
