The Scottish Climate Intelligence Service are procuring a single data platform to support the design and delivery of effective programmes of area-wide emissions reduction across Scotland. The platform will provide the ability to aggregate, analyse and visualise data on emissions sources with the costs and benefits of actions for emissions reduction and mitigation of climate impact. It will enable presentation of data at local, regional and national levels to critical stakeholders to embed climate impact into future decision-making.

A critical component of the Scottish Climate Intelligence Service is the implementation of a common data platform to support the design, management, and delivery of action plans for area-wide emissions reduction by local authorities across Scotland. The platform will enable consistency of approach and adoption of best practice methodologies across local authorities and their delivery partners. The SCIS data platform will be procured by the Improvement Service and managed by the Climate Intelligence Service on behalf of the 32 local authorities and Scottish Government.
