First Minister
@ScotGovFM29 Nov 2023
First Minister @HumzaYousaf has welcomed @ScotGov's Investor Panel recommendations on attracting net zero infrastructure investment. He said @ScotGov is focused on delivering a just transition to net zero and attracting investment to create new jobs. ➡️ gov.scot/news/driving-net-ze…
“Delivering the physical infrastructure necessary for a just transition to net zero will require public and private capital investment on an unprecedented scale over many years, at a time when public finances are extremely stretched. Attracting more investment to Scotland has the potential to generate significant economic growth and create new jobs and industries right across the country." - Humza Yousaf, First Minister
