Remit
The Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment, along with the Economy Energy and Tourism, Infrastructure and Capital Investment and Local Government and Regeneration Committees agreed to review the Scottish Government’s draft second Report on Policies and Proposals (RPP2).
The remit for review was—
“To consider the draft second Report on Proposals and Policies and the
effectiveness of these in meeting the emissions reduction targets”.
The draft second Scottish Government Report on Proposals and Policies was laid in the Parliament on 29 January 2013. Under the provisions of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 Parliament had a maximum of 60 days to report on the document. Four parliamentary Committees identified an interest in scrutinising the draft report: the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment, Economy Energy and Tourism, Infrastructure and Capital Investment and Local Government and Regeneration Committees. Each Committee separately considered the elements of the Report within their remit and will report directly to Parliament. The RACCE Committee focused their scrutiny in the following areas:
- Development of RPP2
- Climate change governance (including monitoring)
- Rural affairs (fisheries and agriculture)
- Land use
- Resource use, and
- Behaviour change.
