In Scotland, this can be observed through recommendations from the Just Transmission Commission (JTC) who advocated its adoption by local authorities (JTC, 2021). Recently, GPB has gained momentum, with local authorities turning towards this as a way of addressing climate change at a local level. Notable examples include Dundee climate fund, the Edinburgh community climate fund and the Just Transition Participatory Budgeting Fund, across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.
