The establishment of the NCS will create opportunities to enhance the way in which services are designed and delivered to meet objectives beyond immediate care priorities, including on sustainable development, climate resilience, and Net Zero. New working practices and policy mechanisms in the NCS (for example, new roles for Scottish Ministers around strategic accountability), will provide means to build climate resilience and Net Zero actions into the social care system, providing a basis on which the Scottish Government can work with social care providers to identify and put into practice actions to combat the climate crisis and achieve wider environmental objectives.
