THE business group set up to help Scotland meet its carbon reduction targets by the end of the decade has marked 2020 days to go until 2020 by launching a new brand identity.
Scotland's 2020 Climate Group is chaired by former SSE chief executive Ian Marchant and also includes Lady Susan Rice and Peter Lederer.
The organisation said it would be updating its website and online resources in the near future.
Its new logo is said to symbolise collaboration, efficiency, a circular economy and nearing a target.
The aim of the group is to help meet a target of a 42 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020.
Earlier this month it was confirmed Scotland had failed to meet its target for carbon emissions in 2012.
However there has been a 30 per cent decline since 1990 and Scotland is ahead of the rest of the UK.
Mr Marchant said: "We need to ensure that we are not complacent."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
