### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government does not currently have a dedicated survey vehicle for collecting robust data on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of people in Scotland in relation to our key energy and climate change policies. While there are disparate strands of data available on these issues, these data are not comprehensive enough to be used for accurate monitoring and evaluation of Scottish Government energy and climate change policies, or to meaningfully inform related policy decisions. The aim of the survey is to generate reliable estimates of Scottish adults' awareness and understanding of, and engagement with, climate change-related issues. It will also cover views and experiences of the costs and benefits of climate change policies. This will help the Scottish Government track the impact of current work, and tailor future programmes of work on climate change across a wide range of important policy areas. These areas include, but not limited to, engagement and behaviours on issues including heating and energy efficiency, transport, land use, climate change adaptation, just transition and biodiversity. The project will design and carry out the first survey. The project has two aims: 1.develop a replicable survey that: a.provides robust information on energy and climate change-related public understanding, attitudes and behaviours among adults (16+) in Scotland; b.enables disaggregation of such information both geographically and demographically; and c.enables detection of trends over time, and a discussion of how often the survey should be repeated, including consideration of wider Scottish Government survey activity as set out above. 2.provide full instructions and 'desk notes' that allow for this survey to be repeated in future.
