The submission and frequency will follow the Contract Management Framework reporting agreement. Carbon Reduction Scotland's Climate Change Declaration and Aberdeen City Council’s ambitions to become a climate positive city and move towards a just transition to a net-zero, green, wellbeing economy represent key local and national priorities.
