Scotland’s “trend of failure” when it comes to meeting targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will continue without “urgent and strong action” from ministers.
Independent advisers the Climate Change Committee (CCC) noted that while Scotland had “ambitious” milestones - including the target of cutting emissions by 75% by 2030 - there was “no clear delivery plan on how they will be achieved”.
The target of reducing emissions by that amount by the end of the decade goes further than the CCC advised – with the expert body saying in its latest report that “this remains extremely challenging”.
