Scottish National Adaptation Plan (SNAP3) Following input via two LA Forums workshops in 2023, the draft Scottish National Adaptation Programme 2024-29 (SNAP3) is now published for consultation. Public bodies and local authorities have a statutory duty to help deliver this Plan and SG officials will present an overview to the COSLA Economy & Environment Board on 1 March with a focus on regional collaboration. A follow-on session is being planned for March/April via the SSN and SLAED networks with a focus on climate resilient economic development.

The consultation received a large response and processing of the comments has now started. Further updates will be provided in due course. https://consult.gov.scot/national-performance-framework-unit/wellbeing-and- sustainable-development-scotland National Performance Framework The current National Outcomes were published in June 2018, following consultation across the Scottish Government, the wider public sector and local authorities and with the public, trade unions, business organisations and civic and voluntary sector organisations. The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 requires us to review the National Outcomes every five years. A review is ongoing, led by the Scottish Government’s National Performance Framework Unit, to ensure the National Outcomes continue to reflect the kind of Scotland we all want to live in. Revised National Outcomes will be taken to the Scottish Government Cabinet in March 2024. The Scottish Parliament will then take a few months to scrutinise both the revised NPF and the Review process. A revised NPF will be published in autumn 2024. We are also working to improve implementation of the NPF across Scotland. We are considering recommendations made by the Finance and Public Administration Committee’s NPF inquiry report, ‘Ambitions into Action.’ In response to the report, the Scottish Government has committed to producing an implementation plan for the revised NPF in 2024, to support further progress towards achieving the National Outcomes. We launched a new NPF website on 6 February. The homepage address hasn’t changed but you might need to update your favourites or bookmarks, as we have

moved a few things around. We have prioritised improving the accessibility and usability of the site, with additional functionality currently in development. Key content, including National Indicator data, resources and case studies, should be easier to find. If you have any feedback or ideas for future improvements, get in touch or use the feedback forms across the site. We will provide updates on further website developments, progress of the review and the implementation plan here.
