New partnership for ECCI and ClimateView to drive climate action
ECCI and The Improvement Service have partnered with Swedish technology company ClimateView to deliver the Scottish Climate Intelligence Service (SCIS).
The SCIS will support Scotland’s local authorities with their approach to the climate transition through effective, climate-informed decision making at all levels and on an area-wide scale.
The collaboration between SCIS and ClimateView will use a shared data platform to support capacity building and implementation of climate action. The SCIS will support local authorities to move existing climate action plans online and use the platform to design, implement and improve area-wide emissions reduction programmes, focusing on effective climate solutions and the systemic changes needed to fund and implement them.
Adoption of the ClimateView platform will facilitate development and delivery of area wide climate action plans, providing impact assessment and monitoring action and implementation. This collaborative model helps to ensure all 32 local authorities contribute to Scotland's net-zero goal, promoting a collective response to climate mitigation and enabling all communities to access the benefits of transition to a low carbon economy.
“We need to deliver climate action at pace and scale to meet targets and unlock all the other benefits for the people of Scotland; moving from static climate action plans to a live-action feed of what works and what is blocked should help us support evidence-based decision making and unlock investment.” - Clare Wharmby, Programme Director, SCIS (ECCI)
"The partnership helps Scotland as a nation as well as every one of Scotland's 32 local authorities progress more efficiently with the help of data-informed analysis. We’re thrilled to work this closely with the key institutions of Scotland’s green transition towards 2045." - Einar Bodström, CEO, ClimateView
