Meeting description: During this hosting of the Scottish Labour Party leadership team our staff used the opportunity to discuss climate change and renewables and promote and demonstrate the importance of wind and other renewable technology in Net Zero but also from an economic and jobs creation perspective. We highlighted the role that Green Hydrogen plays within renewable generation and Net Zero as well as the opportunity for green jobs within the energy industry. We also raised the ecological aspect of onshore windfarms including peat restoration and the importance that ecology and environment has on also achieving our Net Zero targets. Finally we highlighted the importance of infrastructure in moving towards electric transport and low-carbon heating raising the role of the electricity network and the funding that is required now to facilitate this transition.
