We raised the risks we feel are posed to environmental governance in Scotland by Brexit and which we feel could be addressed by an independent environmental watchdog which would require legislation. We asked for more detail about the Government's plans to phase out the use of horticultural peat as mentioned in the Programme for Government 2019-20. We welcomed the Government's commitment to respond to the May 2019 report of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) later this year. We informed the Special Advisor about how we believe that offshore renewables developments could contribute to nature restoration. We discussed preparations for the COP27 (Conference of the Parties) international climate change meeting in Glasgow late in 2020.

To explore how offshore renewable energy developments (wind turbines) can benefit nature especially seabird colonies while aiding Scotland's fight against climate change. For example in our opinion offshore wind can be planned and situated in ways that minimise their negative impact on seabird colonies while we also feel that renewable energy developers can and should contribute funding toward seabird conservation measures such as island biosecurity programmes. The purpose of the lobbying at the event was to encourage Ministers to maintain a coordinated approach with industry and Non-Governmental Organisations to delivering benefits to seabirds to help offset some of the adverse impacts of offshore wind on seabirds.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss some of the ideas that are being shaped to help Scotland claim its status as 'the' global leader on climate change and to task the group with what is required to do this a concerted collaborative and transformative approach and to ask how this group will lead and make tangible. We were encouraging the Scottish Government to work with industry public bodies and the public towards making Scotland a carbon neutral economy. We were discussing this because we believe that it is in the long term interests of both Baillie Gifford and Scotland. In addition we feel carbon neutrality will help us to attract and retain talented people in Scotland if it is seen as a country that has progressive policies in this area.
