S6M-19280: Nicola Sturgeon: Scotland's Commitment to Global Climate Justice and Fair Climate Finance— That the Parliament notes that Glasgow hosted the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021, which it considers built momentum for the establishment of the historic Loss and Damage Fund; understands that Scotland became the first nation to contribute to this fund with an initial £2 million pledge, demonstrating, it believes, Scotland's leadership in climate justice; considers that climate change disproportionately affects the world's most vulnerable communities that have contributed the least to the problem; believes that addressing climate impacts requires transformative fiscal reform and international cooperation to tackle economic and environmental inequalities; notes the view that industrialised countries and historic emitters, including Scotland and the UK, must meet their fair share of international climate finance, which it understands is estimated globally to be between £7.6 billion and £33 billion annually; further notes what it sees as Scotland's ongoing commitment to championing climate justice and building on Glasgow's COP26 legacy and the precedent set by Scotland's Loss and Damage Fund contributions throughout the current parliamentary session, and notes the support for continued advocacy for these principles in international fora and within climate and development strategies.

The role of local government and its cross-sectoral partners in financing and delivering a net-zero Scotland - Scottish Government funding for net zero
This has often led to public disagreement, at the time each new Scottish Government budget is set, as to whether or not funding to local government has declined in real terms and, if so, by how much.viThis paper from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre provides an analysis of Scottish Government funding for local government 2013-2021, as well as different views the Scottish Government and local government have taken on counting methodology : Local Government: Facts and Figures
However, the Scottish Government accepts that funding constraints mean that Councils must take difficult decisions, and Scottish Government ministers told us they accepted that costs and inflationary pressures were a challenge for Local Authorities and were making net zero targets harder to deliver.viiOfficial Report, NZET Committee, 27 Sept 2022, col 4
We also heard views - from Council leaders, Council staff and stakeholders who work closely with Local Authorities - about the "how" as well as the "how much" of Scottish Government net zero funding.
