You are exploiting one of the greatest resources anywhere on the planet, with wind onshore and particularly offshore” Vice President Al Gore, visiting Edinburgh September 2011 "The Scottish Government has already taken the lead with our ambitious legislation to cut emissions by 42% by 2020”.

Editor's Notes
- .
- But we have perhaps underestimated the wider picture. Not just electricity, but heat, transport, farming, forests and peatland. We have put exhaustive effort into the right hand list – how to green up the supply of electricity. Still more to do on Renewable Heat But key challenge on the left hand side - changing the behaviour of consumers and businesses But the scale of ambition here is one that demands a much stronger focus on behavioural change than has traditionally been the case on issues of public policy We’ve followed the six Es as our guidance here – and fully aware of the latest work led by the Institute of Government / Cabinet office. We are only at the start of our task to embed this new thinking in our approach, but we would like Scotland to be a prominent player (and not just in the field of climate change). And we have something new to offer – ask Rebekah to tell you more about that But finally:
