Meeting description: We asked how Scottish Labour Party saw nature and biodiversity fitting into their plans for a Just Transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as is required to tackle climate change and meet legally binding Net Zero targets. We discussed what we see as the need to plan the location of windfarms sensitively to minimise impacts on habitats and the challenges of planning for how habitats could change due to climate change. We agreed to set up a further meeting to discuss these issues in more detail.
