Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether the recommendations on aviation in the Climate Change Committee report, Progress in reducing emissions in Scotland – 2021 Report to Parliament, will be addressed in its aviation strategy.
Answer
We are carrying out a consultation to inform the development of our aviation strategy, so at this stage no decisions have been made about what will be addressed. The consultation includes questions on how the Scottish Government can help to reduce the environmental impact of aviation. The responses to the consultation, alongside other relevant evidence and wider Scottish Government policy, will inform decisions on the final content of the strategy.
