We discussed the results of the latest Seabird Census which was published in late 2023 and the recently published Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (bird flu HPAI) survey results from 2022-23. We highlighted the fact that Scotland is internationally important for seabird populations and that seabirds are under pressure from climate change invasive non-native species overfishing and marine development such as offshore wind in combination with HPAI. We expressed the hope that the Biodiversity Strategy and forthcoming Seabird Conservation Strategy would contain actions which would make a real difference for seabirds such as island restoration and biosecurity and that they would be adequately resourced. We welcomed the recently announced ban on commercial sandeel trawling in Scottish waters. We discussed the need for dialogue and constructive engagement with coastal communities around what we see as the need for marine conservation. We agreed to keep the Member informed as we look into new ways of engaging with communities on these issues while highlighting work our area teams are already doing in partnership in areas such as Orkney and Shetland. | Climate | The following text is a description of a public meeting.

CERG organised an MSP briefing session to raise awareness and understanding amongst Members of CERG's proposal for a 'Net Zero Test' (or assessment) process. We proposed that a Net Zero Test/assessment will help the Scottish Parliament scrutinise the climate impact of the Budget and subsequent policy plans such as the Climate Change Plan and would fulfil the Scottish Government's commitments made in the Joint Budget Review to establish a government-wide Net Zero Assessment to improve how carbon assessment is embedded in policy making and spending decisions. CERG made the case that a Scottish Government-wide carbon assessment could help inform alignment of public expenditure with Net Zero targets thereby avoiding higher costs in the future and presented a methodology that has already been tested and could be applied widely to achieve this. We invited the Members to ask questions and discuss this proposal at the event. | Climate | The following text is a description of a public meeting.

To provide the Member with the opportunity to learn more about the Scotch Whisky as exemplified at Glenkinchie Distillery. The Member was taken on a tour around the site; learning about the production process as well as any further information sought. We discussed the industry's sustainability strategy committing to an industry-wide target to completely decarbonise own operations by 2040 and working closely with supply chains to be Net Zero by 2045. Recognising challenges we in particular highlighted access to and capacity of grid infrastructure as a current limitation on how fast industry were able to progress. We also touched on the importance of road and connectivity infrastructure and the need for further housing to attract the workforce required across the industry; and on the importance of Scotch Whisky in Brand Scotland and the ability to attract visitors and investment. | Housing, Climate | The following text is a description of a public meeting.

The panel event was organised to discuss the progress made in climate and sustainability one year on from the COP27 conference in Glasgow. We reflected on what has been delivered so far from the Glasgow Climate Pact and the implications for actuaries. We also considered the challenges for COP27 which took place in Sharm El-Sheikh in November 2022. We also assessed the impact of key political challenges such as the pandemic response and the cost-of-living crisis on progress being made in Scotland. We also discussed how Scotland can transition into a global leader for green and sustainable financial services. We also explored how the actuarial profession can lead change in the financial system to serve the public interest in the management of climate-related risk and capitalise on the economic opportunities that such a transition presents. We informed the Minister about the work the IFoA and actuaries undertake on sustainability issues particularly a new report authored by the IFoA and the Climate Crisis Advisory Group titled 'Climate Emergency tipping the odds in our favour: A climate change policy briefing for COP27'. | Climate | The following text is a description of a public meeting.

We discussed our asks for the upcoming Emergency Budget and agreed to share a briefing on these. The priorities discussed were: Priority 1 - Achieve energy security by driving forward investment in Scottish renewable energy projects. Increase the role of Scottish ports to support the low-carbon economy through a Net-Zero Ports and Infrastructure Programme; Achieve growth for small and medium low-carbon suppliers by introducing a supply chain SME support mechanism; and Ensure that the commitment in Programme for Government 2022/23 to agree a new deal between The Scottish Government and local government supports all Local Authorities to play their full role in tackling climate change. Priority 2 - Accelerate our transition to low-carbon heat to support households and businesses with the cost of living and avoid increasing costs. Deliver a Rural Clean Heat Fund to ignite a transformation of renewable heating solutions for Scotland's island and rural communities; Extend the 90% district heating business rates relief for networks powered by renewables sources until 2035; and Expand the size and scale of interest free loans programmes for heat pumps. | Climate | The following text is a description of a public meeting.

We raised the risks to environmental governance in Scotland which we believe arise from Brexit and our belief that these could be addressed by a potential Scottish Environment Act with binding targets for nature restoration and an independent environmental watchdog. We highlighted the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds' recently launched carbon mapping project and how this work showcases what we feel is the potential for natural solutions to climate change. We welcomed the First Minister's recent comments on the climate and nature emergencies and expressed the hope that these might be expanded on in the 2019-20 Programme for Government.

We sought to showcase to the Minister the importance of ancient woodland and how we manage Beeslack as an urban ancient woodland surrounded by development. We discussed the importance of ancient woodland and made the Minister aware it is an important carbon store long-term. We also showcased how the woodland interacts with an adjacent housing estate and explained why it is important to have a buffer zone between a woodland and housing in order to protect the woodland from indirect adverse impacts from development. We asked the Minister to ensure delivery of the Scottish Government's commitment to creating an ancient woodland register. | Housing, Climate | The following text is a description of a public meeting.
