Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on preparations for COP26.
Answer
Preparations for COP26 are well underway but the member will appreciate that we now find ourselves in the midst of a public health emergency, with serious implications both for the health of the nation and our economy. In this changed landscape, governments, globally are taking stringent measures to halt the spread of the virus.
We continue to work with partners and will be guided by scientific advice in the run-up to the event but our immediate concern, as would be expected, is in dealing with immediate impact of the virus.
