Scottish policy and practice update: June 25

This update is part of a regular series of rundowns of policy developments and reports on our work in Scotland, by CLES Senior Researcher and Scotland lead, Naomi Mason.

As the push to grow the renewables sector and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels increases, so too do conversations about who can and should benefit from Scotland’s natural resources. Luckily, we are “blessed” with abundance in this regard – it is always windy somewhere in Scotland!
