ECCI and The Improvement Service have partnered with Swedish technology company ClimateView to deliver the Scottish Climate Intelligence Service (SCIS).
The collaboration between SCIS and ClimateView uses 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 the 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.
Many local authorities are already working on area based approaches and Sustainable Dundee is an example of what the platform can do. Dundee have worked with ClimateView since 2021 to update its climate action plan with new data. This approach enables continuous monitoring and refinement of strategies, particularly addressing energy efficiency concerns.
