Just transition for the North East and Moray

Overview

The North East of Scotland and Moray are hugely important for Scotland’s economy and energy. As Scotland transitions to a low-carbon economy, these areas must be well supported.

Crucial to the future of this area is having enough jobs to sustain employment levels, and that workers have the skills to take up those roles. The Committee want to hear from those in the area on what support is needed to achieve this.

The Scottish Government set up The Just Transition Fund to “accelerate the development of a transformed and decarbonised economy in the North East and Moray.” The Committee want to know if this fund is achieving that stated aim.

The Committee also wants to know how well placed and supported Scottish businesses are to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the transition.
