The Climate Emergency Skills Action Plan 2020-2025 Key Issues And Priority Actions (CESAP) sets out a clear direction for the changes needed in the skills system, and signals the role that industry, communities and individuals across Scotland will play in achieving this. The CESAP focuses on immediate actions to support the development of the sklls needed to meet the climate change challenge and longer term actions that will allow the skills system to respond more effectively for the Climate Emergency Skills Action Plan to function as a responsive and evolving document.
