Question
To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to continue the discussions and networking established by the Glasgow Climate Dialogues beyond COP26, and whether it will use its role as Co-chair of the Under2 Coalition of sub-states, cities and regions to promote a similar dialogue among all the Under2 Coalition members.
Answer
The Scottish Government will continue to build on the discussion and networking that was in place before and was developed through the Glasgow Climate Dialogues at COP26. This includes hearing directly from partners in the Global South and working in collaboration on shared issues.
As European co-chair, Scotland is committed to promoting values of justice and inclusivity within the Under2 Coalition. This includes championing dialogue with and response to the interests of members from the Global South.
The Just Transition Alliance the Scottish Government established at COP26 will act as a vehicle for discussion, knowledge sharing and action across Coalition members on issues of voice, inclusion and fairness.
