Circular economy and waste route map to 2030: island communities screening assessment
Island Communities Screening Assessment (ICIA) for Scotland's Circular Economy and Waste Route Map to 2030.
Recommendation and conclusions
80. On present evidence, we do not believe that the publication of the CEWRM itself will disproportionately impact island communities. However, it is likely that a significant number of the individual measures may have a range of both negative and positive impacts across island populations.
81. It is recommended that as individual interventions and their actions are being developed, they are subject to the impact assessment process ranging from screening to full assessments as required.
82. It is recommended that stakeholder engagement with relevant representative groups and those with lived experience is undertaken as measures are developed.
83. It is recommended that findings and evidence gathered from this and other related ICIAs are maintained and updated as necessary to support future related CEWRM action impact assessments - as per the single-use vapes and cups interventions outlined earlier.
84. It is recommended that where appropriate, CEWRM-related research should continue to take cognisance of gathering evidence of potential impacts to island communities.
85. The Scottish Government will consider an appropriate and proportionate monitoring approach to the CEWRM outputs. This will include the overarching Circular Economy Monitoring Indicator Framework Scottish Government is developing, alongside monitoring approaches developed for each individual intervention where appropriate.
86. Progress of the CEWRM will also be tracked by the relevant Scottish Government Programme Board to ensure measures are being implemented in line with the timeframes provided in the CEWRM.
87. A full Islands Community Impact Assessment is NOT required at this time.
