To ask the Scottish Government how many civil servants are working to tackle climate change and help achieve Scotland's net zero commitments.
As net zero is one of this Government's foremost priorities, addressing climate change is integrated into the work of teams right across the Scottish Government, our agencies and public bodies.
At the end of September 2022 there were 68.8 full time equivalent staff directly employed in Domestic and International Climate Change Divisions within the Scottish Government.
