To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-29958 by Stewart Stevenson on 14 January 2010, what changes in the manner in which he undertakes official duties have been implemented by the First Minister in the last three years in order to reduce his carbon footprint and what the estimated total reduction is.
Answer
Scottish ministers'' activities in connection with the government estate are covered by the Scottish Government''s environmental targets and the Carbon Management Plan. These aim to deliver a 30% reduction in emissions from energy use by 2020, with an interim target of a 12.6% reduction by 2011 from a 1999-2000 baseline.
Projects underway include energy awareness campaigns, rationalisation of printers, removal of water coolers and energy efficient lighting. Projects planned into the future include voltage reduction technology and new centralised building management system.
Emissions attributable to business travel have also been targeted in the Scottish Government''s travel. Air and car travel, including ministerial travel, are subject to a carbon levy.
