Scotland's public sector is already playing a strong leadership role in the national endeavour to deliver a just transition to NZ by 2045.
Scottish public sector bodies have targets consistent with the national target to achieve NZ by 2045, and in some cases will be pursuing efforts to achieve NZ earlier than the national target. For example, NHS Scotland is looking to bring forward its target date for NZ from 2045 to 2040.
As previously mentioned in chapter 7, it is recommended that a NZ Route Map is set against a target deadline consistent with Scotland's commitment to NZ by 2045, or earlier, particularly in the case that the relevant sectoral commitment is in advance of the national target.
