Call for feedback - Climate Change Public Engagement Strategy

The Scottish Government is currently seeking views on the Climate Change Public Engagement Strategy as part of a midpoint review process. We are keen to hear your candid reflections on what aspects of the strategy you think are working well so far and how we can improve delivery against the strategy for the remainder of the strategy’s implementation.

Therefore, we would be grateful if you could complete a short feedback survey, which will be live from Wednesday 24 July 2024 to 31 August 2024.

There are eight questions, with a mixture of closed and open questions. There is no text limit for the free text responses. If you wish to take part, you can do so online, here - Public Engagement Strategy midpoint review stakeholder engagement survey.
