Abstract

Through events and dialogue from January to July 2021, this project focussed on accelerating progress towards the ‘Just Transition’ for an environmentally sustainable, resilient and equitable economy and society in Scotland, within the framing of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our specific focus was on the role of the ocean and marine science, supporting dialogue between the scientific and policy communities in Scotland. The notion of a ‘Just Transition’ deliberately extended beyond the usual energy context, exploring opportunities and challenges for progressive policy supported by science, including on seafood sustainability, the circular economy and nature-based solutions. The two main events of this project (multistakeholder workshops) had clear but connected objectives, namely to: (1) develop our understanding of interdependencies between marine and cross-cutting policy themes to promote policy coherence, through the identification of synergies and management of trade-offs; and (2) mobilise the science and policy communities in co-developing knowledge for policy impact, especially with respect to the Scottish Government Blue Economy Action Plan/Strategy, including understanding data and evidence needs for innovation and measuring progress.
