Scotland Beyond Net Zero Seed Funding

Lodged by Michael Matheson Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the first phase of Scotland Beyond Net Zero’s (SBNZ) seed funding for projects tackling climate change; understands that this is as a result of the collaborative effort of Scotland’s higher education institutions partnering to accelerate the drive towards net zero through research and innovation; recognises what it sees as the important role that universities have in driving the Scottish Government’s ambitions in relation to the climate crisis; acknowledges that the seed funding has been awarded to eight projects across six major themes of food, finance, built environment, natural systems, energy and transport; commends SBNZ for allocating up to £15,000 to research projects that will explore interdisciplinary solutions to complex climate issues, and looks forward to seeing SBNZ, and the various projects awarded funding, continue to have an impact on Scotland’s "beyond net zero" future.
