| Description | The Scottish Government commissioned AEA Technology to trial the Greenhouse Gas Policy (GHG) Evaluation and Appraisal guidance of DECC and the Interdepartmental Analysts Group (IAG) on a selection of Scottish policies. This work tested the suitability of the guidance for use in Scotland, with a view to informing the development of Scottish GHG guidance.
