Duties on the face of the Act require that a public body must, in exercising its
functions, act:
• In the way best calculated to contribute to delivery of the Act’s
emissions
reduction targets
• In the way best calculated to deliver any statutory adaptation
programme
• In a way that it considers most sustainable

duties on public bodies in secondary legislation
• Public bodies defined as those within meaning of s.3(1)(a) Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002
• Scottish Ministers must give guidance to relevant public bodies in
relation to climate change duties. Before bringing forward such guidance,
relevant stakeholders must be consulted
• Public duty provisions must come into force no later than 18 months
after the Bill received Royal Assent

United Nations Copenhagen Climate Change Summit
The UN climate conference in Copenhagen in December this year hopes to have
new global climate agreements on four political essentials:
1. How much are the industrialised countries willing to reduce their
emissions of greenhouse gases?
2. How much are major developing countries such as China and India willing
to do to limit the growth of their emissions?
3. How is the help needed by developing countries to engage in reducing
their emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change going to be
financed?
4. How is that money going to be managed?

Universities and Colleges Climate Change Commitment
for Scotland (UCCCfS)
• In February 2009 there were 38 signatories of the UCCCfS, constituting
60% of universities and colleges in Scotland
• Each has committed to preparing and publishing a 5 year Climate Change
Action Plan with targets and timescales to achieve significant reduction
in emissions from all business activities
• This will require the allocation of time and resources but should become
part of an institution’s strategic planning process
• FHE representatives liaising with Scottish Government on best practice

SFC Sustainable Development Estate Management
Guidance
• The revised Sustainable Development Guidance for Estate Management has
been produced on behalf of the SFC to provide colleges and universities with a
toolkit for incorporating sustainable development into practical, routine facilities
management and also for embedding the principles of sustainability in their
estate strategies
• The guidance was developed in 2008 on behalf of the SFC and has
subsequently been amended and updated this year to work in tandem with
other SFC guidance and documentation and to fully integrate with the EAUC
