The IS is working with the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI), the Sustainable Scotland Network (SSN), COSLA and Scottish Government to establish a Scottish Climate Intelligence Service which will build capacity within Scottish local authorities to improve decision-making for area-wide emissions reduction by providing the data and tools, and building the skills and confidence in using them, to deliver better climate outcomes and realise the social and economic benefits of a zero carbon Scotland.

The purpose of the Local Leads role is to support the capacity building side of the Scottish Climate Intelligence Service (SCIS), working closely with the Capacity Building Manager and wider team, to deliver practical insight and support at local level.
