Nicola Sturgeon has been urged to act on reducing emissions in Scotland as she prepares to join other world leaders at the Cop27 climate conference in Egypt next week.
Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, a coalition of 60 environmental groups, said Scotland must make its action on reducing its own emissions live up to its words since the First Minister won international recognition for her leadership at Cop26 in Glasgow last year.
While SCCS welcomed her calls for more finance and reparations for communities affected by the climate crisis, it said domestic emissions must be cut to prevent more harm. Mike Robinson, chair of the organisation, said there is a “damaging mismatch” between Scotland’s leadership on loss and damage finance and its failure to reduce its own emissions.
