| Comments if no further assessment is needed? | While no further impact assessment is required for the proposals for a Scottish Climate Change Bill, the Bill includes provisions to take account of equal opportunities when carrying out functions under the act. Parties responsible for carrying out functions under the act, such as the Scottish Government and a future source of independent advice (such as the UK Committee on Climate Change, a Scottish Committee on Climate Change, or another existing public body) will need to take this duty into account. This will take place on an ongoing basis throughout the lifespan of the Bill, such as when formulating policies to meet emissions reduction targets or the setting of those targets. |
